The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, and former Osun State Governor and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, have cast their ballots in the ongoing Osun governorship election.
Oyetola voted at Ward 1, Unit 10, in Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government Area.
Oyebamiji and his wife were accredited at Ward 9, Polling Unit 011, Gantry Area, Ikire, in Irewole Local Government Area, where they also cast their votes.
The exercise is taking place across the 30 local government areas of Osun State, with voters electing the governor who will lead the state for the next four years.
Meanwhile, agents of the Accord Party and the All Progressives Congress, APC, were seen engaged in vote buying at AUD Primary School in Atile, Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of the state.
Vanguard observed that party agents stationed themselves around the polling booths to monitor the voters.
The move is to monitor voters and their ballot papers to ensure they cast their votes for their candidate.
It was further observed that as soon as a voter casts his or her vote, a party agent hands over a tag to enable the voter to claim their cash.
An Accord Party agent, Ajayi Ayodele, was seen accusing APC agents of clustering around the polling booths to monitor the ballot papers.
Aside from the APC, the ruling party (Accord Party) was also engaged in vote buying as he was seen directing voters to a destination after voting to collect their funds.
