Ondo Election: Five LGAs prone crisis in five council areas – KDI warns

The Kimpa Development Initiative, KDI, has identified five local council areas of Ondo State as potential flashpoints during Saturday’s governorship election.

While raising the security concerns a few hours before the poll, the non-governmental organization urged security agencies to swiftly act on the intel.

According to the Executive Director of KDI, Mr Bukola Idowu, while briefing newsmen during a pre-election news conference in Akure, the state capital, the flashpoints are Akoko South-East, Ile-Oluji/Oke-Igbo, Ilaje, and Ese-Odo, Idanre local government areas of the state.

“These are potential flashpoints that we think security agencies need to look into and have adequate deployment.

“And most especially, either process must be intact and must be adequate and must be top-notch in those areas.”

While commending the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for its level of preparation for the poll elect, Idowu said, “We are watching to see how that preparation will translate to the actual execution on election day. And then we are looking at that in like about four major areas.”
