Ondo Poll: Deputy Gov, Ajayi Votes, Says Security Compromised

Agboola Ajayi, incumbent Deputy Governor of Ondo State and governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), has cast his ballot in the ongoing gubernatorial election in the state.

Speaking to newsmen after casting his ballot at about 10.32 a.m at Apoi Ward II, Unit 004 at Kiribo, Ese Odo Local Government of the state, said the voter turnout for the election was encouraging but alleged that the security arrangement for the polls was a bit compromised.

While appealing to the security operatives for their neutrality in the polls, he hoped that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would be part of his alleged conspiracy.

“You can see the turnout that has been very encouraging here. But I want to also say that the way we have seen it here, the security arrangement is a bit compromised which is not exactly what happened in Edo State,” said the Deputy Governor.

“I want to appeal to the security agents to live up to expectation, be neutral, see that every Nigerian’s vote counts.

“INEC has put in place so many measures and I want to believe they are not also part of this conspiracy.”
