She said: “The turnout is massive. Women are, of course, much more than men, but this turnout is very unusual. Maybe it is due to voter education; may be it is due to the fact that we now insist that if you don’t have a PVC you cannot do so many things and that is working for us. People are now interested, people just want to cast their ballot and maybe it is because this is a mid-term election where everybody believes they can have a voice. I think this is great.”
Also, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Biodun Oyebanji,said reports he has been getting across the 177 wards shows a massive voter turnout.
