Tinubu Blames Low Turnout On Insecurity
The National leader of All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has blamed lack of adequate security for low turnout of voters during the government elections on Saturday. Tinubu stated this while casting his votes at polling unit 047 near his residence at Iyala Street, Alausa, Lagos. The presence of media personnel both local and foreign media was preventing smooth voting process and he pleaded with the officials of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow him cast his votes first to allow other voters space to vote.
He eventually casted his at exactly 1.30pm. He argued that an Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police has taken over the function of Commissioner of Police in Lagos. “If you observe few days ago, there were sporadic shootings across the state and people were scared to come out and exercise their civic responsibility,” he said.
At the polling unit where Tinubu voted, 520 accredited voters were recorded while the voting process commenced at exactly 1.30pm Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to Governor Raji Fashola on Education, Hon. Fatai Olukoga, assured the APC of delivery his ward to the party. He stated this while casting his vote at Olukoga ward A1 Ikorodu West LCDA, polling unit 026. in Ikorodu, Lagos.
