Meanwhile, at 10:15am, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu arrived at Eiyekole Ward E3 on Adeniji Adele Road, Lagos Island, to cast his vote.
The Governor was in the company of his wife, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, and members of his immediate family.
The Governor acknowledged improvement in the voting process, but decried late arrival of electoral officers at several polling stations across the State.
He said: “The exercise has been observed to be peaceful so far. I came in here and met fairly good turnout of people. My wife and I waited patiently until it was our turn to be accredited, after which we were given ballot papers to cast our votes without any form of hindrance.
“I can confirm that there is no intimidation of citizens who came out to exercise their civic responsibility. I drove from the State House to this polling unit; the process has been peaceful from my observation. There has been no incident at all. I am sure the results at all the polling units in the State would reflect what we have seen when they start coming in the next couple of hours.”
Sanwo-Olu however expressed confidence that All Progressives Congress (APC) would come out victorious at the end of the process as he urged residents to remain peaceful, asking them to resist troublemakers who may want to disrupt the process and create disturbances.
