Senator Sharafadeen Alli, representing Oyo South Senatorial District, has raised serious concerns over the conduct of the Local Government Election by the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC).
The lawmaker, who cast his vote in Ward 3 of Ibadan North Local Area, labeled the electoral process as a “sham.”
Expressing his disappointment, Senator Alli stated, “What is happening here shows there is no preparedness in the conduct of the election. I will say OYSIEC is out for another game because this is almost 11 o’clock, and officers supposed to conduct the election are not here. And this is happening in almost all voting centers in Oyo South Senatorial District.”
Senator Alli further revealed alarming incidents, including an attack on the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ibarapa East Local Government, who is reportedly in critical condition at Awojobi Hospital.
Despite these challenges, Alli urged voters to remain calm and refrain from resorting to violence.
The criticism from Senator Alli underscores growing concerns about the transparency and effectiveness of the electoral process in Oyo State.
