Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, a former Lagos State Deputy Governor, has alleged irregularities in the ongoing local government elections in the state.
Speaking in an interview, Bucknor-Akerele expressed her concerns and called for the cancellation of the exercise.
Bucknor-Akerele alleged that she was unable to vote at her polling unit, citing this as evidence of the irregularities plaguing the electoral process. Her experience has led her to question the integrity of the elections and call for their cancellation.
Bucknor-Akerele's call for cancellation underscores the need for a thorough review of the electoral process to ensure fairness and transparency. The allegations and call for cancellation highlight the importance of maintaining the credibility of the electoral process.
“I have been to my own unit, my name is not there,” she said, adding that several units had been moved without prior notice.
“There are units supposed to be in front of Eko Hotel, they have brought them here to Ajose Adeogun,” she said.
The former deputy governor claimed that the relocation of polling units and missing names were part of a larger plan to rig the election.
“There is a clear effort to rig the election in favour of one party. Many people are not able to vote because they have completely disrupted all the polling units,” she said.
Bucknor-Akerele urged the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission to cancel the election, citing disenfranchisement and widespread logistical failures.
