The ongoing governorship and state assembly elections in 10 voting units in Lagos State have been postponed, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The polling stations affected are in Victoria Garden City (VGC), Eti-Osa Local Government Area of the State.
INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos, Mr. Olusegun Agbaje, told the media on Saturday that the ad hoc workers placed in the area refused to carry out their duty because of an experience they had during the Presidential Election.
“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 remobilize here tomorrow (Sunday) morning by 08:30 am to conduct the elections.”
“By 08:30 am tomorrow (Sunday), we will reconvene here.”
