It was gathered that his presence was challenged by some supporters of Adewusi who were already at the unit, leading to heated exchanges and raised tensions.
The confrontation briefly disrupted the peaceful atmosphere at the polling unit before calm was restored.
The reason for Adereti’s visit to the deputy governor’s polling unit could not be confirmed as of the time of filing this report.
