By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo

Osun State governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Gboyega Oyetola has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to increase the number of machines used for the election.

Oyetola, who alongside his wife, Kafayat voted at Local Authority Primary School, Popo, Iragbiji, Ward 1, unit 2 said: “Considering the time frame we have for voting, they need to speed up or increase the number of machines so as to ensure that the process is completed within the time frame.”

He expressed confidence that he will be re-elected, even as he commended the electorate for coming out to vote.

“Seeing the enthusiasm that voters have displayed to cast their votes, I’m particularly very grateful to them and that shows that people are conscious of the need to participate in the process. Once the process is transparent enough, people will not be persuaded to vote, there will be no voter apathy,” he added.
