Trading booms at Ondo jetty amid election activities

While potential voters boarded canoes and boats en route to their communities and polling units, traders seized the opportunity to engage in brisk business.

The jetty, a vital transit point for voters travelling from the upland to riverine areas, was teeming with activities.

A trader simply identified as Bose said, “People are passing through here this morning and after the election. So we can trade before we go to cast our votes and return after the election.

“The governor and All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Lucky Aiyedatiwa; the Commissioner for Health, Dr Banji Ajaka; former governorship candidate, Chief Olusola Oke; and many notable politicians pass through here to their communities and polling units.”
