Najeem Salaam, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate running for Osun State governor, is confident he will win the election if it is conducted fairly and without manipulation. Salaam made this statement after casting his vote at Unit 003, Iroyin Ayo Open Space in Ward 004, Ejigbo. He arrived at the polling unit with his wife and remained there to speak with journalists.

Salaam believes that the people of Osun are yearning for a change in government and that their desire will translate into votes for his party. He expressed optimism that the people's desire for a new direction would be reflected in the election results.

However, Salaam is concerned about reports of irregularities in the election process, claiming that the vote count has been compromised and that there is widespread manipulation. He dismissed allegations of vote buying against his party and insisted that the ADC is committed to a democratic process and the free choice of voters.

Salaam also alleged that some ADC agents were prevented from participating in the electoral process, which he believes could undermine the transparency and credibility of the election. He urged election officials to ensure that all political parties were allowed to participate fully in the voting and collation processes and that the final results accurately reflect the will of the electorate.
