The Alliance for Credible Elections, an observer group, has commended Ekiti people for coming out en mass to cast their votes during the governorship election held on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that an official of the group, Omilusi Mike, also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC for transparency of the electoral process.
Omilusi spoke in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital.
“I want to sincerely commend the turnout of the people from across the nooks and crannies of Ekiti to vote for their chosen candidate.
”The determination displayed by the people on Saturday was unprecedented and unbelievable.
“I saw the number of people coming out from their villages and homes, contrary to the rumour of riot and crisis being spread across the state a few days to the election.
“It is obvious that the wishes of the people have prevailed especially at a critical period in Ekiti,” he said.
Former Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals Development and candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, won the election.
