Osun deputy governor, Benedict Alabi, says he has no fear that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

“I have no doubt that we are going to win convincingly considering what we have achieved in the state in the last three and half years,” Mr Alabi said shortly after casting his vote at ward 6 unit 7, Baptist Day School, Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of the state.

The deputy governor, who adjudged the process as peaceful and orderly, with impressive turnout, commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the timely arrival of election materials.

He also commended the security agencies for ensuring orderliness and peaceful atmosphere of the conduct of the election.

“This is a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is calm and rancour-free.

“People are orderly and also have the confidence to come out in their large numbers to vote.

The atmosphere was generally peaceful, with a large voter turnout.
