The All Progressives Congress candidate and Lagos State
Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has trounced his closest rivals, Abdulazeez Adediran
and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party at
Polling Unit 6, Eiyekole, Lagos Island, in the ongoing governorship and State
House of Assembly elections.
Sanwo-Olu polled 121 votes while Adediran and Rhodes-Vivour
secured only one and two votes respectively.
The Independent National Electoral
Commission officials as well as the security agencies arrived as early as 7:30
in the morning and voting started at exactly 9 am.
Addressing journalists shortly after casting his votes,
Sanwo-Olu sued for peaceful conduct of the election while expressing
satisfaction over the turnout of voters.
He said: “We are happy with the turnout of voters in this
election. I was told INEC officials came right on time, and voting is on.
“I think it’s time for us to see and understand that this
process is not meant to be one of violence. The election that leads to a
democratic process is the best form of validating what true democracy is all
about.
“I want to reiterate that this contest is about peace,
progress, and prosperity. Everyone has the right to be able to advocate for
everyone to freely express themselves, fairly, and transparently.”
