SAN FRANCISCO, March 10, (THEWILL) – Following the announcement of the results of all the local government areas in Lagos State, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Babajide Sanwoolu has won in all the LGAs in the state.
There was a mild drama at the collation centre when the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Prof. Ifagbemi Awamaridi, protested against the announcement of the results.
He argued that the election in the state should not have taken place at all given that the number of electoral materials were incomplete, as discovered during the distribution in the premises of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) branch in the state on Wednesday.
Awamaridi, whose insistence drew comments from the audience, said, “On Wednesday, we pointed out that the election materials were not complete and the law says election should not start until that is resolved.
“INEC told us it would invite us when the matter is resolved, but that didn’t happen until the election took place yesterday. It is wrong.”
Sanwoolu is followed by Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
