Voting has ended in the ongoing Ekiti State Governorship Election, with foreign observer group, Nouvelle Perspective, expressing satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise across the state.
The observer group, which deployed ad-hoc staff to all the 16 local government areas of the state, described the process as peaceful and orderly, noting that a high turnout of voters was recorded in many polling units monitored by its team.
Nouvelle Perspective attributed the impressive turnout to the appreciable presence of security personnel across the state, saying their deployment provided the electorate with the confidence needed to come out in large numbers and exercise their franchise without fear.
Speaking on the exercise, the National Coordinator of Nouvelle Perspective, Hon. Jim Okolo, commended voters, security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for ensuring a smooth voting process.
According to him, "From our observations across the 16 local government areas of Ekiti State, there was a remarkable turnout of voters and a commendable level of orderliness. The visible presence of security personnel gave confidence to citizens to come out and participate in the democratic process."
Hon. Okolo further stated that the Ekiti Governorship Election would serve as a litmus test for the general elections scheduled for early next year.
"The Ekiti Governorship Election is a litmus test for the general elections coming up early next year. The lessons learnt here and the level of preparedness demonstrated by stakeholders will be crucial in shaping expectations for the nationwide exercise," he said.
He added that the group would continue to monitor the collation process and would issue a comprehensive report on its findings at the conclusion of the election.
Results collation is expected to start soon at the collation centre at Ekiti INEC headquarters. The presidimg officers of the polling units already sending in result amidst tight securities.
Other members of Nouvelle Perspective who monitored the elections are Alex Nwankwo, the electoral Correspondent, Comrade Loyce Ogueri, Dr. Odo Joseph, Eno Brown, other's.

These are the students who lack seriousness. If you fall into this category, take responsibility for yourself and consider returning home instead of aimlessly wandering the streets.
I know a couple who relocated to a European country in 2021 with less than 1 million naira. They both enrolled as students, secured jobs while studying, and started building their lives. The wife was pregnant, and they managed to live in a shared apartment for over a year. Fast forward to today, they’re doing well, have moved into a larger apartment, and are enjoying a more comfortable life.
On the flip side, there’s a young woman, not even 20 years old, who failed to complete her studies. Her residence permit expired because she couldn’t be bothered to follow up on her temporary permit application, and she was eventually asked to leave the country. Despite having a tax-free job (as taxes in that country only applied to those over 26), she quit because it felt "too stressful." Meanwhile, she bought the latest iPhone on credit and relied on her mother back in Nigeria to send money for rent and living expenses.
There’s nothing wrong with living within your means—learn to prioritize and make better choices.
shoodboi2: The same US that the Taliban chased out of Afghanistan is the one that is rated?
US was defeated by Taliban fighters wearing kaftan with bathroom slippers while Russia is winning against an army that is armed, funded, and trained by NATO.
Yet, somehow, it is Russia that is overrated.
Looking at the state of the Nigerian army and the rag tag book haram, common sense should tell you that defeating someone in their homes where the majority of people around them are sympathetic to their cause is almost impossible.
I currently reside in Poland and wish to apply for study visa to Ireland. I have a family here in Poland and currently hold resident permit based on work expiring 2026. I will be eligible to apply for Polish permanent residency in 2027 but feel I should just get this Ireland stuff going. I will be sponsoring myself and wish to find out if the embassy is against bulk funds deposit like Canada.
I am trying to avoid Nigerians as much as I can. It is really annoying.
I housed someone for a year abroad without them contributing to rent, but it appeared as if I did them wrong by asking them for their plans to get a place.
The individual prefers speaking to mutual friends in language I don't understand. Infact 99% of his phone calls are in his local dialect which I do not understand.
I have every reason to suspect the individual was already gossiping about to people and it is quiet painful cos I don't know the lies that has been told.

Capernum: The guy is average. He's not fit for Madrid. Someone that can squander several changes. He's ratio is not outstanding. Madird bawo? He can do to psg sha. Or Arsenal.
You adopted a baby and she grew under your guidance.
She allegedly turned out to be a nuisance and you brought her out to disgrace her in the presence of so many people and even recording it.
The truth remains, nobody knows the abuse this lady suffered. You can clearly see from the beginning of the video that TB Joshua actually has hatred towards the girl from the way he ordered her to stand up.
No one can ever take care of a child the way the biological parents would. She perhaps would've turned out to be a different person if her biological parents raised her.
She was never part of TB Joshua's family, she never felt like one of them and was possibly not treated as one.
A child becomes really rebellious when they discover that the people who raised them are hypocrites and they loose respect for them. I believe the girl has seen more than enough to even doubt Christianity as a result of TB Joshua's conduct which she has experienced and was once part of.
She basically saw him as a hypocrite and disrespected him so much.
Saturnalia: No, it isn’t a win win for the West. If the Cowardly gang of 30+ Countries are not so scared of Iran, they should move their fleet towards the Strait of Hormuz and bomb Iran rather than flexing their muscles with defenseless Yemen’s Houthis.
Not that I give a fvck about what happens between the 2 warring blocs (Axis of Evil & Axis of Resistance) but I hate hypocrisy from people like you.
If any sensible person or entity wants to tackle a problem, you deal with the said problem from its roots, and not just by attacking its leaves or branches.
If the West is telling us that the Yemen’s Houthis are being propped & funded by Iran, why not concentrate your forces on Iran to eradicate the problem once & for all, rather than chasing shadows - bombing helpless civilians in Yemen?
Muammar Gaddafi did not do 15% of what Iran is “allegedly” doing before the gang of 30 Countries invaded & killed him.
Trump killed Qasem Soleimani in 2020 and dared the Iranians to respond to his cowardly crime at the Baghdad Airport which killed Soleimani.
Guess what? The Iranians called his bluff and responded with severity, raining down ballistic missiles on 2 of her bases in Iraq – and Trump went silent for HOURS, with not so much as a tweet.
The Mainstream Media went into overdrive and denied any casualties were recorded.
Alas, Attached is the result of Iran’s retaliatory attacks on 2 of Amerikas bases in Iraq.
Those who do not know Amerika’s penchant for BLATANT LIES & PROPAGANDA are the Secondary School Children on Nairaland always posting nonsense to garner “useless likes”
Even the Pentagon knows that the day Amerika and her cowardly gang of 30+ Countries (called NATO) attacks Iran is the day NY, WA, IL, CA, TX & VA will be leveled & turned into radioactive dusts, including all her vassal states in Europe.
As always, for countless Billions of Dollars, Amerika can only send her army against illiterate savages armed with coconuts.
Maybe this is as a result of the escalation with Pakistan.
Iran is in support of Palestine. Some Palestinians were told to leave Pakistan late last year because they were becoming a nuisance.
Now you hear Iran launching missiles at Pakistan.
Try to approach matters without sentiments. Your clear hatred for America will do you no good.
