SUN. 19 MARCH 2023-theGBJournal | President Muhammadu Buhari casts his Vote for the Governorship and State Assembly Elections in Katsina State Saturday, calling on Nigerian’s to stay peaceful and vote for their preferred candidates.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN and his wife, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo also voted at the Egunrege Polling Unit 14, Ward 1 in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State, expressing satisfaction with the conduct of the election.
Prof. Osinbajo and his wife arrived the polling unit, got accredited and proceeded to cast their votes at exactly 10:34 am.
Speaking afterwards with journalists, Prof. Osinbajo said “from here at my own polling unit, it is excellent. The whole process has been conducted very well and I just hope and pray that this is how it is being carried out across the nation.
“It has been a very pleasant experience. I am glad that I am able to cast my votes and so many others who cast their votes have been able to do so,” he added.
Meanwhile, across the country, our reporters witnessed a combination of peaceful, violent processes and total apathy as voters stayed away from polling units.
The performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was also hugely criticized as most of the ad-hoc staff deployed performed below par, and in some cases colluded with thugs to disrupt the process.
