Senator Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Saturday’s Osun State governorship election has cast his vote.
Senator Adeleke, currently represents Osun West senatorial district, arrived at the polling centre very early, was accredited and voted at about 8.08am at Abogunde Ward 5, Unit 9 in Ede, the Punch reports.
Speaking with journalists after exercising his right, he asserted his optimism at victory while raising concern over the card readers.
He said, “I hope the card readers work because it took process before the card reader started working. So far so good, it’s been peaceful.
“We’ll have a fair election. I’m very optimistic that I’m going to win this election.”
Responding to questions on accusations against him before election, Mr Adeleke said such moves by his opponent were borne out of fear.
“All allegations levelled against me is (are) false. It’s all lies.
They tried to make sure that I do not stand this election. I’m qualified, I have all it takes. They are afraid of me because they know that in a free and fair election, I’m going win. And by the special grace of God, that’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to win.”
