Voter apathy marred the local government election held on Saturday across the 18 local government areas of Ondo State.
Most of the residents did not participate in the election as the polling units monitored were scanty with no queues of voters.

IOur correspondent reports that in Akure South Local Council and Akure North Local Council Areas of the state, polling officers and security personnel were sitting idle waiting for voters.
With 922 voters registered at Ward 4, Unit 7, Ojumu, Akure South, only 96 people had voted at around 11:00 am with no other voter insight.
However, at ward 9, unit 3, Oba-Ile, the numbers of voters were a bit high, as one of the councillorship candidates was said to be from the unit.
Meanwhile, the restriction of vehicular movement by the police was not effective, as motorists, particularly those in transit through the state, moved freely.
Most of the streets visited had youths playing football while commercial motorcyclists made brisk business.
