11: 21: Gunshots were fired from the palace of the king of Ifaki, hometown of Chief Segun Oni, Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the ongoing Ekiti governorship election.

10:20: A visually impaired electorate reportedly caused a stir in the Saturday’s Ekiti Governorship election at Fajuyi House, Polling unit 007, over her inability to identify the logo of her preferred party which led to a shouting march among agents of political parties.

The choice of who would assist her almost led to a fight among party agents as the INEC officials rejected those that volunteered to assist the woman.
Naija News understands that the governor cast his vote at the Polling Unit 009 in Isan ward in the Oye Local Government Area of the State.
