Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole; former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun; and a senator-elect of Ogun West Senatorial District, Senator Olamilekan Adeola, have commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for carrying out a seamless process during the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in the state.
Bankole, who voted at Polling Unit 6, Ward 10, Egungbohun, Abeokuta South Local Government Area of the state, said the exercise was a lot better than the last election.
He said, “The BVAS machine is working well today because a couple of weeks ago this particular polling unit was cancelled because the BVAS machine wasn’t working well. “We are happy that they brought more machines today and we are voting peacefully and the turnout is very high.“There is a policewoman here and we don’t need any extra security personnel because it is very peaceful here, we are fine.”
Amosun who arrived at his unit at 10.42am alongside his wife, Olufunso, and one of his daughters, Anjola, voted at exactly 10.48 am.
