Agba Egbe as popularly known said this in an interview with our correspondent shortly after voting on Saturday in Ibadan north local government at Polling Unit 38, bodija express, Ward 12
Said he is optimistic that the PDP will coast to victory at the end of the general poll, considering the long urge for a change and masse’s oriented government.
“When I arrived at the polling unit, the INEC officials got here late behind schedule, so until a few hours after their arrival, voting commenced.”
The council boss expressed gratitude to the people of the council area, most especially the wards voting started late, for their patience and for coming out in large numbers to cast their vote.
“The people here have been patient, and we have, in our capacity, encourage the electorate to stay true and exercise their franchise.
This is very encouraging, I, therefore, commended our people for their resilience and commitment to exercise their civic right.”
Agba Egbe urged INEC to extend the voting time since the exercise started late.
“I have made a case for that already; the time should be extended so that people will not be disenfranchised due to INEC’s logistical failings.”
