The Deputy Governorship Candidate of the Accord Party in Osun, Kola Adewusi, has expressed optimism that the party will emerge victorious in the governorship election.
Adewusi, after casting his vote on Saturday in Ile-Ife, said adequate security personnel had been deployed to ensure a peaceful exercise across the state.
He, however, raised concerns over the uneven arrival of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials at some polling units, noting that while officials arrived early in some areas, the situation was different in others.
According to him, the late arrival of election officials at some polling units could affect the smooth commencement of voting.
The Accord deputy governorship candidate said he remained confident of victory, stressing that the party had worked hard and enjoyed strong support across the state.
On his expectations from the election, Adewusi said he was optimistic of winning the poll.
He expressed confidence that voters would freely exercise their franchise and that the final outcome would reflect the wishes of the electorate.
Adewusi also urged voters to remain peaceful and conduct themselves responsibly throughout the voting and collation processes.
