Tension as APC Deputy Governorship Candidate Visits Osun Deputy Governor’s Polling Unit

Tension briefly disrupted voting at the polling unit of Osun State Deputy Governor and Accord Party running mate, Prince Kola Adewusi, during Saturday’s governorship election. The confrontation reportedly began when APC deputy governorship candidate Benjamin Kayode Adereti arrived at the location after voting at Waasin Polling Unit 11, Ilaare Ward 3. Supporters of the deputy governor resisted his presence, leading to an exchange of words and a brief fight before calm was restored.

A candidate's visit alone should not automatically be treated as wrongdoing; the key issue is whether anyone interfered with the voting process.

Officials should quickly separate party supporters, document any confrontation, and keep the queue moving so voters can cast ballots without intimidation.
