LG polls: Late arrival of electorate, election material marred Ogun election – NRM

Ezekiel alleged that the outcome was predetermined and that OGSIEC compromised to follow instructions from influential individuals. The NRM chairman’s statement highlighted the widespread delays in electoral officers and materials, affecting various polling units across the state’s 20 local government areas.

Key issues with the election include:

• Late Arrival of Electoral Materials: Election materials failed to arrive on time at several polling units.
• Poor Logistics: OGSIEC’s inadequate planning led to disruptions in the electoral process.
• Alleged Rigging: Ezekiel claimed the election outcome was planned, with OGSIEC allegedly carrying out instructions from paymasters.

The Labour Party also alleged rigging in the Ogun LG polls, while the NSCDC warned miscreants to steer clear of polling units ¹.
