Governor Dapo Abiodun has commended Ogun residents for turning out en masse to exercise their franchise in Saturday’s local government elections across the 20 local government areas.
Mr Abiodun gave the commendation while addressing journalists shortly after casting his vote at Unit 2, Ward 2, Ita Osanyin area of Iperu in Ikenne LGA.
The governor, who stated that the turnout showed residents’ belief and support for democracy, expressed optimism that the result of the polls would reflect the wishes of the people.
Mr Abiodun also commended the State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) for the process, saying that reports and feedback from the field had been encouraging.
”The feedback I have gotten has been very encouraging. In any election, we can’t rule out logistics hiccups, but, by and large, electoral materials have reached all the nooks and crannies of the state, and voting has commenced in earnest,” said the Ogun governor.
