Early results in the just concluded governorship election in Osun State shows the incumbent governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rauf Aregbesola in an early lead over the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyiola Omisore.
Aregbesola led in most polling units in Osogbo, the Osun State capital while Omisore won many units in Ile Ife where he hails from.
Omisore, who voted at about 12.56pm, said the election was peaceful. He also praised the security operatives drafted to the state for doing their jobs professionally.
However, Aregbesola was not happy as he accused the security operatives of arresting his loyalists and members of his party.
