Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has cast his ballots at Unit 9, Ward 2, in Ede North Local Government Area as the contentious poll begins across the state.
The governor cast his vote as early as 8 a.m. on Saturday morning amid tension over possible unrest.
Newspot reports that the election is currently being held as scheduled despite advice from the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi.
The Nigeria Police Force had also called for the suspension of the exercise, stating that unrest was likely to unfold following disagreements between political parties.
The Labour Party had also announced its decision to back out of the exercise, saying the security of its agents was not guaranteed.
