Adebule wins Lagos polling unit for Sanwo-Olu, APC

All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos West Senator-elect, Dr Idiat Adebule, has maintained 100 per cent winning record in her unit for the APC despite that her area is dominated by the supporters of the Labour Party.

On Saturday, she delivered her polling unit, 029, located at Iba in the Ojo Local Government of Lagos State for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and House of Assembly candidate, Segun Ege.

The APC polled 115 votes, while the Labour Party (LP) came at a distant second with 57 votes. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) came third with seven votes.

The House of Assembly results showed that the APC polled 113 votes, the Labour Party scored 52 votes while the PDP garnered seven votes.

Speaking at the Polling Unit 029 Iba, where she and her husband, Alhaji Saheed Adebule, cast their votes, the senator-elect said the exercise was an improvement over the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly poll.

She thanked the electorate and the party faithful for having trust in her.

According to her, there is a need for the electorate to participate more in the electoral system.

She commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for early arrival of its ad-hoc officials.

She said, “I must say it has been smooth so far.  The electoral officials came early enough to commence the exercise. I say kudos to the commission.”

She dismissed the reports of thugs depriving people of exercising their civic rights.

“Election is going on smoothly in Iba Local Government Area, but I don’t know what is going on in other areas. You can see that things are orderly here and no intimidation or harassment,” she said.

She expressed optimism that her party, the APC would come out victorious.

“My expectation is that my party should come out victorious in the governorship and assembly poll. Our governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, would win because he has done quite a lot for the people of the state. We appreciate him for that and we want him to continue on that terrain and do more for the people of the state, especially in the Iba area.

“We need more development and we look forward to him giving us the best in terms of infrastructure.”
