- Tension in Osogbo As Residents Stay indoors!
With few hours to the Osun State Gubernatorial election, there is palpable tension in the state as major parts of the state have been deserted, grounding commercial activities.
Many residents in major parts of the state have refused to come out of their houses out of fear and for security concerns.
While major parts of the state are largely peaceful many residents are afraid of the possibility of violence.
The mood is not unconnected with the fierce battle between the incumbent governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adegboyega Oyetola and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ademola Adeleke.
The two leading candidates will enter a fierce battle tomorrow, Saturday. Osun state has a total of 1,955,657 registered voters.
Out of the total registered voters, 1,479,595 — 76%– have collected their cards as of Sunday 10th July 2022.
A total of 15 political parties will contest in the July 16 gubernatorial election.
The fifteen candidates on the ballot papers will slog it out across the 30 local government areas and the 3763 polling units in the state.
