The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Olayide Adelami, has exercised his civic rights during the state’s ongoing governorship election.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi, cast his vote on Saturday, raising allegations that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has compromised the election process.

Ajayi arrived at Polling Unit 4, Idumado Quarter, Kiribo, Ese-Odo Local Government Area, nearly two hours after voting commenced.

The candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in the ongoing Ondo State governorship election, Abbas Mimiko, has urged voters to resist the temptation to sell their votes.

Mimiko made the appeal on Saturday while speaking with journalists at his polling unit while waiting to be accredited.

Mimiko lauded the efforts of security personnel in maintaining order at polling units and called on all stakeholders to ensure that the process remains free, fair, and credible.
