EKITI: Calm in Ekiti as gov election begins

AS the people of Ekiti State take a decision on who becomes the next governor of the state, the streets of Ado- Ekiti are calm, as people could be seen trekking in groups. As early as the 8:00 a.m. that the accreditation was scheduled to begin, people were on queues at different polling units. At the Polling Unit 17, in Ward 10, Ado Ekiti, the accreditation was temporarily halted as people were arguing over queuing arrangement, with the Electoral Officers maintaining that only two queues would be allowed while the voters rejeced the position. It took the presence of policemen to restore sanity, as the accreditation resumed. Along the streets, police vans kept parading the streets.
