This election will surely be intriguing. As it's known there are always two sides to a coin, and a well known Igbo musician sang: Oso ndi, Owe ndi. I.e It pleases some, and displeases others. So, many people are just waiting for Saturday to cast their votes and determine who will rule them for the next 4 years, The people are really enthusiastic and just can't wait to troop out en masse and vote for their candidate. 3 Likes |

Women voters are to determine the outcome of the Osun State governorship election slated for August 9. This is because the number of registered female voters in the state is higher than that of the male, according to a document obtained by our correspondent from the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja on Monday. The document shows that there are 1,407,222 valid registered voters in the state out of which female constitute 53 per cent. This indicates that there are 754,828 female voters in the state while the number of male registered voters is 661,394, which represents 47 per cent of the total number of voters. While the commission put the number of wards in the state at 332, it also states that there are 3,010 polling units, adding that there are 3,379 voting points for the election. It was also stated in the document that Osogbo Local Government Area had the highest number of voters out of the 30 local government areas in the state. While Osogbo Local Government Area leads with 110,000 voters, Ife East is second with 81,430 and follow by Olorunda with 71,580 voters. Iwo Local Government Area is fourth with 66,657 voters while Ifelodun Local Government Area, comes fifth with 57,591 voters. The three local government areas with the least number of voters are Ifedayo, which has 13,066 voters; Boluwaduro, 16,844 voters; and Orolu with 24,914 voters. Twenty political parties are fielding candidates for the election. Some of the parties are Accord Party, Alliance for Democracy, All Progressive Grand Alliance, All Progressives Congress, Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party, Unity Party of Nigeria and Social Democratic Party. Out of these 20 political parties, it is generally believed that the fight would be between the candidates of the APC, who is also the incumbent governor of the state, Mr. Raul Aregbesola, and the candidate of the PDP, Senator Iyiola Omisore. In order to have a hitch-free election, the document indicated that the electoral body had positioned eight management members of staff for the election. Also on ground for the election are 30 electoral officers, 30 assistant electoral officers (administrative), 30 assistant electoral officers (operations) and another 30 assistant electoral officers (RAC). There are 19 local and 10 foreign observers accredited to monitor the election. Among the local observing groups are Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, led by Clement Nwakwo; Women Arise for Change Initiate which has Dr. Joe Okei- Odumakin as leader; and Justice Development Peace Commission led by Rev. Fr. Everest Bassey. Also listed as monitors are Rights Monitoring Group (Olufemi Aduwo); Reclaim Naija(Ngozi Iwere); and Election Monitor(Abiodun Ajijola). Some of the foreign monitors are European Union Delegation, High Commission of Canada, British High Commission, Embassy of France, Embassy of Federal Republic of Germany, and the United States Mission to Nigeria. “INEC has dedicated hotlines at its Situation Room in Abuja through which complaints can be lodged or incidents reported from any Polling Unit throughout Osun State for swift intervention as may be appropriate,” the document added. The telephone lines are 07098115257, 08101774434, 07098117563, 07032492303, 07098110916, 0709811638. The commission, however, added that complaints to these lines should be through SMS Source: THEPUNCH 1 Like |

There have been accusations and counter accusations among the two leading political parties as they are putting finishing touches to their campaigns today. The campaign has been massive all the way, With the major candidates I.e The incumbent governor Rauf Aregbesola of the APC, Dr Iyiola Omisore of the PDP, and Fatai Akinbade of the labor party telling the citizens why he should be voted for and not the other way round. 1 Like |

https://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/166197-osun-election-inec-is-fully-prepared-jega.html In every polling unit, there will be a cubicle where voters can vote secretly. The constitution says the secrecy of the ballot paper must be protected,” he said. The National Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday said all was set for the Osun gubernatorial election slated for Saturday. Mr. Jega announced this at a stakeholders’ forum organised by the commission in Osogbo. “We have prepared adequately and meticulously to ensure that the election is free, fair and credible. “We have paid a lot of attention to the training of our staff and ad hoc staff to use and we will protect members of the National Youth Service Corps we normally use. “We have put measures in place to protect lives and property and to ensure that voters exercise their franchise in a peaceful environment,’’ he said. The INEC chairman said the commission would ensure that ballot papers for the election had been serially printed to ensure they were not in another state. According to him, INEC has also customised result sheets at every polling unit so that no politician can use them to produce unauthorised results. Other initiatives of the commission included the colour coding of ballot papers from one council to another so that it would not be transferable in the council areas. He noted that sensitive materials, including ballot papers were ready for distribution to local governments’ councils with colour coding. “In every polling unit, there will be a cubicle where voters can vote secretly. The constitution says the secrecy of the ballot paper must be protected,” he said. Jega re-assured stakeholders of the commission’s commitment to free, fair and credible election not only in Osun but in the 2015 general elections. He said people, including traditional rulers, should promote peaceful conduct and refrain from violence as security agents were fully prepared to deal with miscreants. According to him, accreditation will begin from 8 a.m. to noon, while voting will commence at 12:30 a.m. “Accredited voters are to join the queue and the voting exercise will not end until the last voter on queue is attended to, voting will then take place simultaneously to prevent multiple voting.’’ Mr. Jega, who advised the electorate not to do anything that would make them fall victim of electoral offences, vowed that the commission would be just, neutral, not partisan, and impartial. “Our hope is to make sure that Osun election is the best poll so far conducted and everyone should come out to perform their civic duty peacefully,’’ he added. Suleiman Abba, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, said that security agencies were concerned with the security of voters, INEC staff and election materials. Abba said the police would protect the integrity of the election and ensure that the election met the requirement of democratic principles and international best practices. He, however, warned sponsors of thugs to beware because law enforcement officers were not only on land but in the air that day. Mr. Abba, however, assured law abiding citizens of police protection, saying every voter should feel free and secured to cast their votes on Saturday. (NAN) |

The Intriguing Politics of Ede: On Saturday, Ede is going to be one of the towns which we are to expect a very tricky and intriguing results. This is largely due to the fact that the PDP candidate's deputy is from this town and also very influential. more so, Senator Isiaka Adeleke who's an APC stalwart and really has massive supporters is also from here. Actually, Ede used to be a pre dominant PDP town largely due to the influence of the Asiwaju Adeleke who's respected in the town and held in high esteem due to his political prowess and influence he has. He was the first executive governor of osun state and he really did much for the people, such that he has endeared the people to him. The love for Adeleke can be likened to that of saraki in Ilorin politics. His departure to APC after a painful exit from the PDP will really enable many people from the town vote for his party. Adejare Bello on the other hand who incidentally is the Oluomo of Ede and PDP's deputy guber candidate can also not be under estimated. Though a political son of Adeleke and also a beneficiary of his philanthropy. He's coming at the heels of some Ede indigenes who will vote out of sympathy for the fact that one of their sons will soon emerge as the deputy Governor of the state. From a personal perspective, APC will conveniently win in Ede no matter how small it is. In percentage I give APC 70, to PDP's 30 percent. 4 Likes |

Reporting from Oshogbo. Covering Dada Estate, Omobolanle and Ayo-olorun Estate. No polling point at Omobolanle, but we have like 3 or more in Dada est. This means residence of Ayo-Olorun est., 'Omobolanle and Dele yes sir' would have to move to Dada est.to cast their votes. This I doubt, because no one would like to treck as far as Dada est. Just to vote since there'll be no vehicular movement till the evening of that day. One polling point is just beside Gazal hotel, behind Nike gallery. The other one is at the front of one palace-like house like that, almost facing Gazal. 4 Likes |

Security personal everywhere here in Osogbo. Entering the capital from Iwo, there are like two to three checkpoints. There are checkpoints for those also coming from Ilobu. I passed through not less than six checkpoints while entering Osogbo from Ogun state yesterday, passed through Abere down to Ola-Iya. Also passed through government house(Bola Ige's house) in the morning. Security there was tight. Saw this red painted military tank as well. Enough masked DSS all around, with guns I saw last in video games(Halo, SOF, COD...). Everywhere is calm in short, with those sharing whatever they like to buy voters card. 1 Like |
