Lagos Council Poll: Confusion As Ikoyi/Obalande Goes PDP

LAGOS, October 23, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Ikoyi/Obalande LCDA, Lagos State, Mr. Ibrahim Babajide Obanikoro has upset the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) candidate and incumbent Chairman of the council, Hon. Adewale Razak Adeniji, according to unofficial numbers of the election conducted on Saturday, October 22, 2011.

The PDP candidate polled a total of 5294 votes while the ACN polled 4497. (See how they voted below).

The huge upset suffered by the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu led ACN which also controls the government of Lagos State has however stalled the announcement of the result so far by the returning officer for the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).

As at press time, the returning electoral officer and other senior officers who absconded from their duty post when reports filtered in that the ACN had lost in the local government are yet to return to their posts.

Some voters and residents of the area have gathered at the Ikoyi/Obalande LCDA office on Glover Road in Ikoyi insisting that the result is announced.

In view of the low turnout of voters for the poll, THEWILL checks at the council office revealed that electoral officers and polling officers who conducted the poll had filed in their respected numbers before 9pm on Saturday. It is however disturbing that the result has not been officially declared.
