Ogun gov delivers polling unit for Tinubu, loses others

The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has delivered his polling unit at Ward 3, Polling Unit 002, Ita Osanyin, Iperu, Ikenne Local Government Area of the state, for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

He, however, failed to deliver his polling unit for other aspirants including a former governor of the state, Gbenga Daniel, who is vying for a seat in the National Assembly.

Our correspondent gathered that after a four-hour voting exercise that experienced delay at the onset, the Presiding Officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission after attending to the last electorate officially ended the voting exercise.

Thereafter, the presiding officer, who is a female corps member, and her colleagues, sorted the votes and counted them in the presence of the electorates who closely monitored their votes.

Around 5.20 pm, the presiding officer announced the results.

Among the total votes cast for the presidential poll, she said the APC polled 118 votes; the PDP polled 108 votes, the Labour Party polled five votes and the ADC polled one vote.

A total of seven votes were void in the keenly contested election.

For the Ogun East Senatorial District, the presiding officer said the APC polled 113 votes; the PDP polled 119 votes, the Labour Party polled five votes, and three votes were not valid.

For the Remo North Federal Constituency, the presiding officer also said the APC polled 112 votes; the PDP 119 polled votes, the Labour Party polled five votes, and four votes were void.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party supporters have been jubilating after the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, defeated Tinubu at Ward 3, Polling Unit 003, Iregun, in Iperu, Ikenne LGA.

The polling unit is a stone’s throw away from Abiodun’s polling unit Ita Osanyin, Iperu, Ikenne LGA.

Among the total votes cast for the president, the presiding officer said the APC polled 117 votes; the PDP polled 133 votes, the Labour Party polled four votes, the ADC polled one vote, while a total of 10 votes were not valid.

For the Ogun East Senatorial District, the presiding officer said the APC polled 113 votes; the PDP polled 140 votes, the Labour Party polled one votes, the NRM polled one vote, while a total of 10 votes were not valid.
