Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has cast his ballot at 12:45pm at his Idigba Polling Unit 004 of Adewole Ward in Ilorin West, commending the peaceful conduct of the exercise so far.

Official result by the Independent National Electoral Commission showed that APC polled 243 votes in the governorship ballot as against PDP’s 58.

“Going by the turnout in this polling unit, this is impressive. But nationwide, including in parts of Kwara State, the turnout is a bit lower than the presidential and national assembly elections,” he said.

“On the BVAS, the reports so far show that there are improvement, compared to the last elections.”
