Ahead of the local government elections on Saturday, July 24, the Ogun state government has imposed a restriction of vehicular movement to allow smooth and peaceful conduct of the exercise. According to a statement from the commissioner for information and strategy, Abdulwaheed Odusile, the restriction will last for nine hours (between 7am and 4pm).

The state government said only voters are allowed to move to their wards.

UGC Odusile noted that the decision came from the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) which is charged with the task of conducting the councilorship and chairmanship elections in all the 236 wards across the 20 local government areas in the state.

The commissioner added that only voters will be free to move to their polling centres within their neighbourhood for the voting process. He urged the electorate to be peaceful and avoid any act that could “tarnish the hard-earned reputation” of Ogun which has been regarded as one of Nigeria’s peaceful states.
