There was a massive voter turnout on Saturday at Afao-Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State, the hometown of former Governor Ayodele Fayose, during the governorship election.

All eight polling units in Afao-Ekiti Ward recorded high voter participation, as residents—young and old—trooped out early to exercise their civic rights.

Fayose arrived at his polling unit at St. David’s Primary School, which also served as the ward collation centre, at about 8:50 a.m. alongside his son, Bolu Fayose, the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly candidate for Irepodun/Ifelodun Constituency II.
