ADC loses to APC in Aregbesola’s polling unit

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC) at a polling unit where a prominent ADC figure, Mr. Aregbesola, a former governor of Osun State, voted. This outcome was a blow to Aregbesola's political profile, according to Premium Times.

Violence broke out at the polling unit, located in Ejigbo, during the governorship election. The ADC governorship candidate, Najeem Salaam, and his wife had just cast their votes when the unrest started. The incident triggered panic, causing voters, INEC officials, election observers, and journalists to flee the area.

The disturbance disrupted the electoral process, leading to the suspension of voting. The Department of State Services and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps later arrived to restore order, but not before Salaam was escorted away by his security team for his safety. Some voters, like Adewale, were unable to cast their ballots due to the chaos.
