On Sunday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held primary elections in Ogun State to elect candidates for the House of Representatives and the State House of Assembly.
The shadow elections were reportedly marred by crisis in some local governments, particularly in Ogun Central and parts of Ogun East.
There was a delay in the delivery of voting materials, as the exercise did not begin until Sunday night across the state.

There were controversies over the list of delegates in Abeokuta South 1 & 2, Abeokuta North, and Odeda, which nearly disrupted voting in the constituencies.
Our correspondent was told that the situation was similar in some parts of Ijebu and Ado-Odo/Ota.
However, Akinloye Bankole, the PDP’s Publicity Secretary in Ogun, said the exercise was a success across the state.
He claimed that minor problems in a few local government areas were insignificant enough to invalidate the exercise.
When reached at 9:05 p.m. on Sunday night, Bankole, a PDP spokesman, said he was still voting in his local government in Ipokia.
He acknowledged that there were some differences, but that the primaries were held, with winners and losers.

“The primaries in Ogun State were held today” (Sunday). In fact, in Ipokia, we are still voting. The voting materials arrived late, but the results are already being released.
“With the exception of a few minor hiccups here and there, the process has been largely successful,” Bankole said.
