INEC Postpones Elections in 10 Polling Units in Lagos State
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the ongoing governorship and state assembly elections in 10 polling units in Lagos State. The affected polling units are located in Victoria Garden City (VGC) in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area of the State. The decision came after the ad-hoc staff in the area refused to carry out their duties due to their experience during the Presidential Poll. INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos, Mr Olusegun Agbaje, said that the ad-hoc staff refused to work because of the poor security situation in the area.

“We have eight polling units here with 6,024 registered voters and out of which 5,624 people have their PVCs,” he stated, adding that two other polling units at the estate’s main gate were also affected. “After due consultation and further directive from the national headquarters that we should remobilise here tomorrow (Sunday) morning by 08:30 am to conduct the elections. By 08:30 am tomorrow (Sunday), we will reconvene here.”

Meanwhile, Prime 9ja Online reported how thugs attacked a Nollywood actress in the area. The attack on the actress has further highlighted the need for adequate security measures to be put in place during elections. The postponed elections will now be conducted on Sunday, hoping the situation will be controlled by then.

The postponement has been met with mixed reactions, as some voters have expressed frustration with the delay. In contrast, others believe ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process is necessary. INEC has assured voters that the postponement aims to ensure the safety of all stakeholders involved in the electoral process.

The governorship and state assembly elections are keenly contested in Lagos State, with several candidates vying for the top positions. The outcome of the polls will significantly impact the political landscape of the state and the country. Voters are urged to remain calm and patient as INEC works to ensure a free, fair and credible electoral process.
