Commercial motorcyclists, tricycle operators and some traders in Ado-Ekiti continue to operate despite a police-issued restriction of movement related to the ongoing Ekiti State governorship election. Vanguard reports that the affected transport workers defy the order and carry on with their activities, while Daily Post Nigeria reports similar behaviour in the city. The Daily Post account, citing the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), says that by around 8 a.m.—when accreditation and voting are scheduled to begin—some traders in major markets across Ado-Ekiti were already conducting business. Both reports frame the actions as happening during the election period and describe the continued movement and commerce in spite of the restriction. The sources do not provide details on enforcement outcomes or any resulting arrests or incidents. Overall, the reports agree that parts of the informal transport and trading sectors remain active during the governorship election window in Ado-Ekiti, even with police limiting movement.
