PDP Candidate Oluyede Critiques INEC During Ekiti Voting

Dr. Wole Oluyede, the gubernatorial candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the electoral process during the ongoing voting.

He described the process as "useless" due to significant delays in voter accreditation and alleged manipulation. Oluyede reported that at the Osaguru Hall, Unit 6, Ward 3 in Iker Ekiti, the voting process was severely hampered by malfunctioning Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines, causing long waits for voters.

He accused security personnel deployed in the area of intimidating voters and claimed that unofficial vehicles were present, which he suggested contributed to the disruption. Oluyede stated that only five people had been able to vote in half an hour, raising suspicions about the integrity of the INEC process.

He lamented the disenfranchisement of voters and called the situation "sad for democracy in Nigeria.".
