The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Rotimi Akeredolu, is leading in the results announced so far at the various polling centres across the State.

Governor Akeredolu, who expressed optimism that he would win the election, won with a wide margin in all the polling units in Owo, his home town.

While Peoplea Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, as of the last count, is leading in Akure, his home town, Akeredolu is reported to be leading in other parts of the State.

Although the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is still collating result at ward level as at press time, results at the unit level in the four Local Government Areas in Akoko division and the coastal parts of the State indicate that the APC is leading.

Reporters At Large had earlier reported that the three major candidates in governorship election won their individual polling units.

Governor Akeredolu, who is seeking reelection won the election held in his Polling Unit 6, Ward 5, Isokun, Ijebu Owo. He scored 413 votes to defeat Peoples Democratic Party’s Eyitayo Jegede, who polled 12 votes; and the candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, Agboola Ajayi, who scored zero.

Also, Jegede won his Igbogin/Isikan Ward 2, unit 9, polling 220 votes against 60 recorded by Akeredolu while Ajayi got seven votes.

At home, Ajayi, the deputy governor of the state, also won in his polling unit in Kiribo in the Ese Odo Local Government Area of the state.

According to the result pasted at the unit by the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, titled ‘Publication of Reault of Poll’, Agboola won the Apoi Ward II, Unit 004, Idumado Quarters, Kiribo with a wide margin having garnered 395 votes.

Meanwhile, allegations of violence and vote-buying characterised the governorship election held in Ondo State Saturday, reports indicate.

Violence was recorded in some polling centres in the State, especially in Akure, the State capital, Idanre and Emure-Ile, among other towns.

This is in addition to reports of vote-buying in almost all the polling centres across the State; with the All Progressives Congress (APC) allegedly handing out N5,000 to each voter, and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) N2,000.

An election monitoring group, Yiaga Africa, confirmed the case of vote-buying, alleging that the three major political parties were involved in the malpractice.

The group noted that vote-buying was observed by a team of observers who monitored the election across the 18 Local Government Areas of the southwestern State.

Pandemonium was also reported to have broken out in Akure immediately after voting began as gun-wielding men invaded a polling unit, shooting sporadically to disrupt the voting process.

The incident occurred at unit 04, ward 04, Ijomu/Obanla in Akure South Local Government Area, where efforts were made to snatch ballot boxes but to no avail.

A young man identified as Gboyega was shot in the process and was rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.

Prospective voters, media men, election observers and INEC officials scampered for safety, as the hoodlums continued shooting for several minutes.

Operatives of the Federal Road Safety CORPS (FRSC) and other security personnel who were at Ijomu Junction also ran for safety.

It was gathered that men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) later brought the situation under control.

An eyewitness to the incident, who gave his name as Tope, claimed that the thugs are members of one of the three main political parties contesting the election.

‘They came here in there vehicle with guns and started shooting as soon as they came out. One of them went straight to the boy [Gboyega] and shot him at close range,’ the witness said.

‘The hoodlums are here with us, we know them and the people who sent them. One of them was among those who shot people on the street last week.

‘The disturbing side of it is that the security men came saw them with their guns and yet allowed them to go. In fact, they escorted them out,’ he added.

Also in Idanre, a National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) member was allegedly kidnapped when youths attacked some polling centres in the town.

The thugs, who were allegedly working for the All Progressives Congress (APC), sacked many of the polling centres in the town and its environs, causing apprehension in the minds of voters.

Also in Emure-Ile, a community in Owo Local Government Area, two persons were arrested for allegedly using fake Permanent Voters Cards (PVC).

The suspects were arrested by a combined team of security operatives who were at the polling centre.

So far, results of 2,704 out of 3,009 Polling Units have been collated. Bellow are are some of the results available:
