Akingbaso , a member of the House of Representatives, spoke while addressing journalists after casting his vote at Polling Unit 005, Oke Imikan.

He claimed that the thugs were mobilized by the All Progressives Congress, APC.
I want to appreciate INEC as their performance so far has been satisfactory. 'However, my advice to voters is that after casting their votes, they should stay behind and monitor proceedings until the final results are announced. If everything goes smoothly, I am confident my party will win. “Information reaching me indicates that several villages are overrun by thugs allegedly brought in by the APC. 'Villages such as Ofosun, Omifunfun, and Allah are reportedly occupied.
