Oyetola spoke shortly after casting his vote at his Unit 2, Ward 1, LA Primary School Popo, Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government Area of Osun.
He said the reports he was getting from APC party agents across the state indicated that the process was smooth, free and fair.
He said: “To God be the glory, the process of the election is peaceful and INEC has done very well so far.
“My expectation is that we have a peaceful, free and fair election all through.
“People have come out en masse to cast their votes and I have just performed my own civic responsibility as the candidate of APC.
“I have a lot of confidence in the process because there had been no report of any serious issues from all APC party agents across the state.”
