Both of the rival parties are currently mobilising party members to ensure that registration of their supporters is completed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). According to Daily Trust, an 80-year-old man, Taiwo Ogundele, was gunned down as the result of the heated argument between APC and PDP supporters.

When the newsmen contacted the Commissioner for tourism he had denied his involvement in the drama. I dont know the man who died. I have no reason to kill anyone. I visited the area when I heard that there was crisis between supporters of PDP and APC and I persuaded them to be calm. I am surprised that PDP members are now trying to link me with the death of the man,he said. The police confirmed the incident, promised that the proper investigation into the matter will be done.
