Osun rerun: PDP agent declared missing

There was a slight drama at the Ward 7, Unit 12 Polling Unit in Adereti village, Ife South Local Government Area, as a PDP agent in the ongoing governorship rerun election in Osun was missing on duty.

INEC Deputy Director, Voters Education, Stephen Oyewande told NAN that he could not explain why the PDP agent was not on duty at the polling unit.

Oyewande told newsmen to ask PDP leaders on the whereabouts of the missing party agent.

“ Call the state chairman of the party and ask him why his party agent is not here. I can’t explain why he is not here,’’ he said.

There was tight security at the polling unit as voters were prevented from bringing their smartphones close to the polling units.

Present at the polling unit were Lateef Abimbola of All Progressives Congress, Olaiya Yemi of All Peoples Alliance and Rasheed Mojeed of Advance Congress of Democrats.

Also present were Adeyemo Gafar of Action Democratic Party and Bayo Shittu of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
