Mr Adereti, who is the running mate of Bola Oyebimiji, the APC governorship candidate, also said the election has been peaceful and “security perfect.”
But reports of chaos and violence disrupting the voting process have been reported in some parts of the state.
At a different polling unit in the local government, violence erupted over allegations of vote-buying, forcing both INEC officials and residents to flee.
