According to him, “From the information available to me, I have sampled views across the state and it seems to be going on fairly well in terms of deployment of logistics and early commencement of the election. I think there is a great improvement compared to the previous election in terms of the arrival and deployment of materials. It seems to be going on well, relatively peaceful.”

Gov. Soludo, who expressed optimism that the will of the people will prevail, also said that the turnout of voters is low compared to the previous election and encouraged the residents of the state to step out and exercise their civic obligations by voting.
