Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday rejected results of last Saturday’s council election.
The Chairman, Deji Doherty, alleged in a statement that the election was manipulated to favour the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I take this opportunity to state that any result published by the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) is fake and unacceptable to the PDP in Lagos State.
“We reject any result already released or that will be released and we hereby state that a decision will be taken as regards our next line of action, after the collation of our results and due consultation with our lawyers,” he said.
Reacting to the allegation, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos State, Seye Oladejo, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the PDP should be ashamed of its excuses for failure at the polls.
“We cannot hold the brief of LASIEC, but the PDP should be ashamed of its age-long excuses for their perennial failure since the advent of democracy,” he added.
The founder of Real Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation, Mr. Mobolaji Ogunlende, has hailed LASIEC officials and security operatives for creating a conducive environment for voting in Badagry communities.
He spoke with NAN in Badagry.
Ogunlende said the election was very fair and peaceful, adding that there was no violence in Badagry communities during the poll.
He urged the winners of the council elections to work hard and develop their local governments.
