An All Progressives Congress (APC) member on Saturday challenged an official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the decision to close voting at Polling Unit 003, Alagba, Osogbo.
The APC member protested the closure of voting at about 2:34 p.m., arguing that the polling unit commenced accreditation and voting at 8:37 a.m. and should therefore remain open until 2:37 p.m.
“You started at 8:37 a.m., you should stop voting at 2:37 p.m. I will never agree with you. You even said you will stop at 2:37 p.m. Why are you closing at 2:34 p.m.?” the APC member told the INEC official.
The disagreement occurred as voting was winding down in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
The APC member insisted that the full period allocated for voting should be observed, apparently seeking to ensure that voters who were still waiting had the opportunity to cast their ballots.
