Voters waiting to cast their votes at the OLG Nursery and Primary School Polling Unit, Obantoko, Abeokuta, Ogun State… yesterdayPHOTO: GBENGA AKINFENWAThe electorate’s disenchantment with governance at the local government level found expression in the voter apathy recorded in yesterday’s local council polls in Lagos and Ogun states.
Indeed, despite the efforts of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) to ensure that election materials and personnel got to the various wards early, Lagosians stayed away, and polling booths were largely empty in many of the locations visited by The Guardian. x
For instance, at about 11:15 a.m., the Ladipo Odo Ward B2, Unit 055, was empty, and the LASIEC official there, Mrs. Olusile confirmed that things were panning out slowly.
