LAGOS Domestic election observers have commended the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission LASIEC for its professional and peaceful conduct of the ongoing local government elections across the state, despite the noticeable low turnout of voters in some areas.
Chairman of the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission, Jonathan Aifuobhokhan, while speaking to reporters during his observation tour, lauded LASIEC for its organization and preparedness, noting that the Lagos model could serve as a template for other states.
I am already copying everything here to apply it to our local government elections in Edo State, Aifuobhokhan said. We will invite LASIEC to come to our aid in Edo to help us improve on our processes. Everywhere seems peaceful, with no crisis of any kind.
Echoing similar sentiments, the Chairman of the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission, Chief Charles Ejiogu, described LASIECs level of preparation as fantastic, and praised the calm and orderly atmosphere across polling units he visited.
