Security operatives have taken over the headquarters of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission(OSIEC) in Osogbo ahead of the contentious council poll slated for tomorrow.

Findings by The Nation on Friday revealed officials of the electoral umpire vacated the complex since Thursday following the advice of Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN.

When The Nation visited the headquarters of OSIEC on Friday evening, there were about 16 heavily armed policemen at the entrance and its surroundings.

The entrances of the commission were shut with the operatives placing two benches in front of the gate.

One of the operatives told The Nation: “There have been no activities here since yesterday. I don’t know the reason. There is nobody inside the compound.”

Efforts to reach the Chairman of the Commission, Barrister Hashim Abioye were abortive.

He couldn’t be reached on phone. He also didn’t respond to text messages.

Stop calling Nigeria's democracy nascent. A guy of 25 years can impregnate a woman and father a child.

Nigerians have bastard everything and democracy is no exception. That's why the country is a shit hole.

Don't pray for something like that please.

The Police to seal a State facility is undemocratic and uncalled for, however, Osun remains a peaceful State.

Osunlites must ensure that the peaceful environment enjoyed so far continues, thus, everyone going about to exercise their civic responsibility must ensure they do so in an orderly manner.

The Police should also make sure anyone who intends to cause mayhem is severely dealt with.

Democracy that doesn't respect court judgement?

If it favours you it is democracy, if it doesn't, it is truncating democracy.

🚨 *BREAKING* 🚨
*GOVERNOR ADELEKE VOTES AS OSUN LG POLL BEGINS*
✍🏽Mj✍🏽
The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has cast his vote in the ongoing local government election in the state.

The governor voted around 7:56am at Unit 9, Sagba Abogunde Ward 2, in Ede North Local Government Area of the state.

*The governor arrived at the polling unit in company of his supporters and some members of the Peoples Democratic Party.*
I like this spirit, Obaseki got away with this nonsense in Edo state, I am pleased that APC are standing up for themselves in Osun State (I am not APC, I just don't like overbearing governors) and pray there is no bloodshed.

State LG's are important and shoiuld be treated as such, not some governors play toy..
