The Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate, Eyitayo Jegede, said that INEC created a problem and that the machines had stopped working when "it was my turn to vote".

Jegede, a main contender in the Ondo State governorship election, said that amidst all the "hitches", there had "not been" any major disruption.

When it was Jegede's turn to vote, the official had told him to step aside, as his card reader could not read his card.

He said, “INEC is creating a problem. Their machine stopped working when it was my turn to vote. I had to protest and they said the machine was rectified. But despite all these hitches, there has not been major disruption. But I don’t know what is happening in remote areas.

“The turnout has been massive, voters conducted themselves well. I am aware that there is pocket of violence in Ijomu area.

“I also heard of an incident of vote-buying.”
