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 and subsequently cast their votes at Ward 9, Polling Unit 011, Gantry Area, Ikire, in Irewole Local Government Area.

The election is being conducted across the 30 local government areas of Osun State, with voters electing a governor who will lead the state for the next four years.

Meanwhile, party agents of the Accord Party and the APC were observed allegedly engaging in vote-buying at AUD Primary School in Atile, Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area.

Newsmen observed party agents stationed around the polling booths, allegedly monitoring voters and their ballot papers to ensure they voted for their preferred candidates.

It was further observed that after some voters cast their ballots, party agents handed them tags reportedly used to identify them for the collection of cash.

An Accord Party agent, Ajayi Ayodele, accused APC agents of clustering around the polling booths to monitor voters and their ballot papers.

However, the Accord Party was also observed allegedly engaging in vote-buying, with one of its agents seen directing voters to a location where they could collect money after voting.
