LG Election: Residents Shun Restrictions Order As Rainfall Slows Down Process
Several residents of Ibadan, the Oyo Capital, defied the restriction of movement ordered by the Oyo State government during the Local Government election on Saturday, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported.
Vehicular movements were observed around Ring Road, Adeoyo, Oluyole, Dugbe, Challenge, Mokola, Ojo areas of Ibadan as at 7:50 a.m. in spite of the 6:00 a.m – 3:00 p.m. restriction order.
A NAN correspondent who monitored the situation discovered that commercial vehicles were seen conveying passengers to different destinations even as security operatives were absent on the roads.
Some respondents, however, told NAN that the early morning rainfall in Ibadan may have contributed to the indifference by residents, which also affected the early distribution of electoral materials to polling centres.
Meanwhile, at the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) at Oluyole in Ibadan South-West Local Government, electoral officers were seen at 8.25 a.m. arranging for materials to be delivered at polling centres.
One of the supervisors, who pleaded for anonymity, told NAN that the delay was due to the rainfall and other logistics.
