APC chairman in Lagos, Tunde Balogun, has said that the election, held across the 245 wards in the state, was free, fair and transparent and therefore would stand.
Balogun who was peaking in Alausa, Ikeja, before the cancellation of the election by the party’s National Working Committee, said bonafide members of the party were accredited between 9am and 12pm after which the voting started under the supervision of officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He added that the results were signed by the agents of the two aspirants, and the chairman of the party’s NWC.
The chairman also said, the results were credible because INEC officials were there to witness the exercise and that there was no violence.
“The election was properly conducted; constitutionally done and we leave the rest for the people. The conduct of the election was seamless and there was no chaos,” he said.
However, a member of the APC from Ward E, Bariga, Somolu Local Government Area, Oluwabunmi Adetola, said the exercise was marred with violence.
She said, “The council chairman went round with thugs. They beat up people; some of our people are in hospitals. They did not allow us to vote. Anybody that wanted to vote for Ambode was not allowed to vote. There was nothing like election in Lagos.”
