The All Progressives Congress (APC) recorded a landslide victory at the polling unit of the wife of its governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, in Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.

The APC polled 563 votes against 126 votes secured by the Accord Party at Polling Unit 003, Ward 9, AUD Primary School, Atile, in Irewole Local Government Area of the state.

The result gave the APC a winning margin of 437 votes, out of the 709 votes recorded at the polling unit.

The announcement and counting of the votes sparked jubilation among APC supporters and residents at the polling unit.

Earlier, Dr Sekinah Oyebamiji, wife of the APC candidate, cast her ballot at the polling unit and expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the election.

Speaking after voting, she described the voter turnout as impressive and commended officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for what she described as their professional conduct.

“The voters’ turnout is quite impressive. The INEC officials are conducting themselves professionally. There are police officers around.

“I think the process is good so far. The expectation is that Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji will carry the day,” she said.

Dr Sekinah has been actively involved in the APC’s campaign ahead of the election, particularly in mobilising women and sensitising voters across the state.
