Voting activities in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area of Lagos State were disrupted on Saturday due to the late arrival of electoral officials for the ongoing local government chairmanship and councillorship elections.
Residents, eager to cast their votes, had arrived at various polling units as early as 8:00 AM, only to face unexpected delays in accreditation and ballot casting.
Despite the logistical setback, many voters remained at the polling centers, waiting patiently for the arrival of officials from the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).
One of the affected polling stations is the unit where All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmanship candidate, Usman Hamzat, is expected to vote.
Concerned residents at the location expressed frustration, calling for better coordination in future elections.
The delay comes amid otherwise strong voter enthusiasm across parts of Lagos, with security heightened and movements restricted to ensure a peaceful election day.
