According to The Nation, the PDP defectors were led by Bobade Gboyega popularly known as Danger.

The Ogbagi APC leaders alleged that were deceived and tricked into accepting Bobade as a member of the ruling party.

The PDP governorship candidate, Agboola Ajayi, criticized Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) delays and raised concerns over the election process.
