Speaking to journalists, Ighodalo voiced concerns about delays in the election process, stating: โ€œI am not happy with the delay in the arrival of voting materials. This is a single-state election, and INEC had ample time to prepare.โ€

He also accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to manipulate the electoral process, saying: โ€œWe are uncomfortable with the underhanded tactics coming from the APC camp. There are rumors that they are trying to undermine the election.

Some have been caught with ballot papers and PVCs. Worse still, they are offering between โ‚ฆ15,000 and โ‚ฆ20,000 to buy votes, trying to subvert the process.โ€
