An All Progressives Congress (APC) member on Saturday challenged an official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the decision to close voting at Polling Unit 003, Alagba, Osogbo.
The APC member protested the closure of voting at about 2:34 p.m., arguing that accreditation and voting commenced at the polling unit at 8:37 a.m. and should therefore continue until 2:37 p.m.
He insisted that voting should not have been stopped at 2:34 p.m., stressing that the polling unit commenced the exercise at 8:37 a.m. and that voters should be allowed to use the full period allocated for voting.
The disagreement occurred as voting was winding down in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
The APC member maintained that the full period allocated for voting should be observed, apparently seeking to ensure that voters who were still waiting had the opportunity to cast their ballots.
