Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke is unhappy with the preliminary reports he received regarding the ongoing governorship election. According to him, the BIVAS machines have malfunctioned in numerous parts of the state, causing delays in the voting process. In addition to the technical issues, Adeleke claims that thugs are intimidating voters in the Olorunda and Irewole councils, particularly a notorious individual named Enuku and his associates.

Speaking on Osun Radio, Adeleke expressed his dissatisfaction: "The BIVAS machines are not functioning well. I am not happy at all. The police are aiding the APC. Enuku is disturbing people." He further stated, "People came out to vote, but the machine is slow. It is not working well. INEC should find a solution. My people are being chased in Ikire.

I am still watching them. I don’t know if the police are working for APC. I am still watching." Adeleke urged the public to vote and defend their choices, saying, "Don’t be afraid. It is just for one day."
