The candidates vying for Osun state's top job are: Fatai Akinbade of the Advanced Democratic Congress (ADC); Moshood Adeoti of the Action Democratic Party (ADP); Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Ademola Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP); and Iyiola Omisore of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

According to Channels TV, Adeleke said “I am optimistic about the election and I believe that victory shall be the noise at the end of the exercises.

“The card reader took a lot of process before it started working and I hope it’s not same in other polling units."

Few days before the governorship election in Osun state issued a statement inviting Adeleke for questioning.

President Buhari however intervened and ordered the police to stand down till the election ends.
