The atmosphere was calm and peaceful as voters were on queue waiting for their turn to be accredited.

Accreditation had begun in these areas on time, but there was very low turnout of voters as very few persons were seen at the polling units.

One of the people interviewed at Odo-ape, Mr Sunday Adeyemi, said he would not vote because he believed the election had since been concluded on Nov. 21.

Similarly, Mrs Mary Owohunwa said she was boycotting the poll because she was not happy with the 'ugly events that unfolded over the Nov.21 election’
