There is a low turnout of voters in Shomolu and Kosofe local
government areas of Lagos state.
The Lagos east senatorial bye-election election is taking
place in five local government areas of Shomolu, Kosofe, Ikorodu, Ibeju-lekki
and Epe.
TheCable visited some polling units (PUs) in Shomolu and
Kosofe LGAs around 9am but witnessed a low turnout of voters.
Twelve candidates are contesting to fill up the Lagos east
senatorial seat at the national assembly which became vacant after the death of
Adebayo Osinowo in June, 2020.
The polling officer of PU 23 in Shomolu said: “Only five
voters have registered so far since 8am. People are not coming out and the
election ends by 2:30pm.”
Also, at PU five in Shomolu LGA there was only one voter
while at PU 22, there was no voter.
“I haven’t recorded any voter at all. I don’t know why
people are not coming out”, the polling officer of PU 22 said.
There is vehicular movement around the two LGAs and
residents are going about their normal business despite the restriction of
movement by the police in the area.
