The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the ongoing governorship and state assembly elections in 10 polling units in Lagos State.
The affected polling units are in Victoria Garden City (VGC), in Eti-Osa Laocal Government Area of the state.
While addressing the media on Saturday, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos, Mr Olusegun Agbaje, said the ad-hoc staff deployed to the area refused to carry out their duties at VGC because of an experience they had during the presidential and national assembly elections.
“We have eight polling units here with 6,024 registered voters and out of which 5,624 people have their PVCs,” he stated.
Agbaje added 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 remobilise here tomorrow (Sunday) morning by 08:30am to conduct the elections.
“By 08:30am tomorrow (Sunday), we will reconvene here,” he said.
