APC chieftains Ayeni, Fadahunsi and Oyintiloye praise voter turnout and the conduct of polling in the Osun election, speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in locations including Ilesa, Ibokun and Ilase-Ijesa. They describe turnout as impressive and say polling proceeds peacefully.
Vanguard reports that the same figures dismiss allegations of vote-buying. They argue that the APC is popular and therefore has no reason to purchase votes. The outlets broadly agree on their assessment of turnout and the absence of major disturbances at polling, while Vanguard adds the explicit denial of vote-buying claims.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the APC leaders’ public comments about the voting environment and voter participation, with differing emphasis on allegations: Premium Times highlights turnout and poll conduct, while Vanguard also addresses concerns around alleged inducement.
