Oyebamiji spoke shortly after casting his vote at Ward 9, Unit 11, Open Space, Gantry Sawmill, Ikire, in Irewole Local Government Area on Saturday.
The APC candidate praised the peaceful atmosphere at the polling unit and commended residents for turning out in large numbers to participate in the election. 
According to him, the turnout reflected the determination of voters and demonstrated that residents were not intimidated.
“INEC are here, the voters are here, security operatives are here. I want to commend the large turnout of voters in Ikire. It shows that people are not intimidated, and generally, things are going on fine across the state,” he said.
Responding to concerns over possible security challenges in Ikire, Oyebamiji called on law enforcement agencies to remain vigilant and ensure the safety of voters throughout the exercise.
