The APC deputy governorship candidate was said to have earlier cast his ballot at his designated polling unit, Waasin Polling Unit 11, Ilaare Ward 3, before proceeding to the polling unit of the serving deputy governor.
It was gathered that his presence was met with resistance from some supporters of Adewusi who were at the polling unit, resulting in a heated confrontation.
The situation briefly disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere at the polling location as supporters exchanged words and tensions rose.
At the time of filing this report, the reason for Adereti’s visit could not be ascertained.
However, the presence of the APC candidate appeared to have unsettled some of the deputy governor’s supporters.
