Nigerians on Saturday trooped out in their numbers to elect their governors and state lawmakers for the next four years.
The incident was particularly pronounced at the Registration Area Centre at Ogudu in Kosofe Local Government Area of the city, where the last batch of the INEC ad hoc staff, most of them National Youth Service Corps members, were seen moving out of the RAC to their designated polling units as late as 3pm on Saturday.
At a Registration Area Centre in Anifowose Primary School in Ikeja, the ad-hoc staff appeared not to be interested in the election duty. Some of them told our correspondent that apart from the election duty being tedious, they had not received their allowances as promised. They also insisted that they would not leave the RAC until their allowances were paid.
In Oyo State, a serving federal lawmaker representing Lagelu/Akinyele Federal Constituency, Temitope Olatoye, was killed by gunmen in Elesu village, Lalupon, Lagelu Local Government Area of the state. In Enugu State, an APC supporter was shot dead in what the police described as “accidental discharge” following an argument near the home of the APC governorship candidate in the state, Senator Ayogu Eze, in Igboeze North Local Government Area of the state.
