LANRE ADEWOLE periscopes the likely voting pattern in next weekend’s Osun State governorship election as well as factors and variables that will swing victory. He reports a photo-finish race.

The all-important Osun State governorship election is exactly a week away with no clear leading candidate in the race.

Many analysts and bookmakers are cautious about projecting a possible winner although the race has been instructively narrowed to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), incumbent Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenger, Senator Iyiola Omisore. The projection and permutations are putting the Labour Party candidate, political warhorse, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, at respectable third.
