Domestic election observers monitoring the Osun governorship election on Saturday commended the peaceful conduct of the exercise and the large turnout of voters across Ede.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the observers were seen monitoring polling units from as early as 7 a.m., ahead of the commencement of accreditation and voting.
Mr Omotola Akinropo, an observer with Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI), commended the process while monitoring polling units across the town.
Akinropo said the election had so far been peaceful in the communities visited, adding that security personnel had done well in coordinating the exercise and preventing any breakdown of law and order.
He also commended the large voter turnout and urged political actors to accept the outcome of the election in good faith and shun violence.
