Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu voted at his polling unit 019, ward 09, Ikoyi on Saturday, saying the Local Government poll in the state has been peaceful so far.
The governor arrived his polling unit with his wife, Ibijoke around 11:03am and voted few minutes later.
He said reports so far indicated that the poll has been peaceful, but decried low turnout at the poll.
Sanwo-Olu added that that the poll had been going on smoothly despite the challenges encountered, with LASIEC officers coming late.
“We have noticed four polling booths around this area, I will not say it is crowded, but things are going on smoothly.
”Report gotten is that things are going on smoothly except for few delays of officers coming out late,” he said, saying he hoped people would turnout massively.
Sanwo-Olu said the beauty of democracy was for people to express themselves openly through the ballot box.
He stressed the need for more advocacy to educate the people on the need to always exercise their rights by voting.
