“The process is good and going on smoothly; there is no thuggery and violence, the place is peaceful and calm. I am happy that INEC has a thermometer to check temperature and they also give out face masks to our people.”

The candidate said he had not been able to get information about the conduct of the election across the state due to the poor network at his voting community.

Ize-Iyamu also expressed optimism that he would emerge victorious in the election.

“I am confident of victory across the 18 LGAs of the state,” he declared.
