Hours after the conclusion of Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections in Lagos State, no single result from any of the 20 local government areas has arrived at the State Collation Centre as of 1.00 p.m. on Sunday.
Lagos state has a total of seven million registered voters spread across 13,325 polling units in the 245 wards and 20 LGAs of the state.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, some stakeholders slept overnight at the venue of the state collation for the presidential polls, situated at the INEC headquarters office, Sabo-Yaba area, while some arrived early morning to see the process begin.
Some of the stakeholders include domestic and foreign observers, media, operatives of various security agencies, and party agents.
Earlier, Prof. Adenike Oladiji, the Lagos state Collation Officer and Vice-Chancellor, Federal University of Technology, Akure, who was at the official opening of the centre for final collation of election results in Lagos state at 11.30 pm on Saturday, had said that the collation centre would reconvene at 10.00 a.m. before it was later shifted to 12 noon.
She said that became imperative because no single LGA result was available at the time.
