There was a massive turnout of voters in the Edo Central senatorial district for the governorship election.
Despite heavy downpour, some voters arrived early at the voting centres.
In Idinrio, Okaigben in Ward 1 unit 3, where the PDP candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, is expected to cast his vote, voters waited for the arrival of INEC officials who arrived around 10:31 am.
They organised themselves under a canopy to avoid being soaked by the rain and patiently waited for the officials.
The security operatives attached to the unit arrived at the venue as early as 8:34 am and assured the voters that the officials were on their way.
The presence of the governorship candidate of the PDP changed the atmosphere and assured the voters that the voting would commence soon.
He lamented over the lateness of INEC officials and electoral matters in the area and called for a three-month extension to accommodate every voter.
