The Edo State Governorship elections commenced, Saturday, with a reported massive turnout of voters in many parts of the state.

Vanguard gathered voting materials arrived early at many polling centres though some areas were said to have experienced delay in the arrival of materials.

The insistence by the INEC electoral officials that all voting materials must be accompanied by security personnel was said to have caused the delay of materials in those areas.

However, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, former Presidential Adviser and PDP leader who defected to the ACN complained that a polling unit in Onwan West with over three hundred registered voters was reduced to about a hundred hoping this anomanly will not be repeated in other areas.
