3. Leading Candidates Differ In Assessment

Residents of Ondo have voted to elect their governor for the next four years.

After months of wooing the voters across the state, political parties and their candidates will be hoping that their words did enough to convince the electorate to cast their ballots for them.

Ahead of the exercise, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) cleared 18 political parties for the poll.

They will vote in 3,933 polling units of the 1`8 local government areas of the South-West state.

There are 2,053,061 registered voters in the state, according to INEC which said it would deploy the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) to avoid malpractice.

On Friday, the electoral umpire began the distribution of sensitive materials to LGAs and said it was ready for the election.

The police and other security agencies have also deployed their personnel to beef up safety for the exercise.

Incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa will be on the ballot, seeking election after he took over from late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu who died late last year.

He faces stiff competition from Ajayi Agboola of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – who also served as Akeredolu’s deputy earlier – and other candidates.Voting in the election began around 8:00 am.

01:01 pm: The APC cleared all LGAs of the state, winning all 18 council areas by a landslide.

Motorists endured hours of gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Tuesday after the Federal Government began two-week repairs on damaged expansion joints at the Kara Bridge.

The rehabilitation, which started on September 8 and is scheduled to run until September 22, involves replacing worn-out expansion joints that had exceeded their service life and posed safety risks. Work is being done in phases: one half of the affected section is closed at a time while traffic is controlled on the remaining lanes.

Traffic built up in the afternoon and stretched from the Kara Bridge in Ogun State to the 7Up Junction and beyond into Lagos, including areas around Secretariat, Ojota, Ikeja and the Otedola underpass. Security and traffic officials from the police, military, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Federal Road Safety Corps and Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps were deployed to manage the flow.

The Federal Ministry of Works said the intervention, directed by the Minister of Works, aims to improve road safety and preserve the bridge’s structural integrity. Authorities have advised motorists to plan journeys carefully, consider alternative routes where possible, and cooperate with traffic managers during the repair period.

The Federal Government has set up a committee for the activation of the 112 national emergency number.

The committee comprises the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and other relevant agencies.

NEC had recently approved 112 as Nigeria’s single universal toll-free emergency number to replace fragmented and slow response lines, with a view to eliminating bureaucratic red tape and allowing citizens easy access to rapid assistance during fires, accidents, medical crises or security breaches.

Addressing stakeholders during the National Emergency Number 112 Project meeting , yesterday, Vice President Kashim Shettima, urged the committee to ensure its decisions were based on global best practices in order to develop a clear roadmap.

He charged the committee to finalise the roadmap and standard operating procedures for formal NEC endorsement,

Shettima stressed the need to make significant progress, assuring stakeholders that resources would be made available to fund the process once progress became visible.

“Let’s make progress so that whatever time we have spent here is worth spending. And most importantly, the engine is finance. It is resources to drive the process. And I want to assure you that we will get the resources,” the Vice President stated.
