Alhaja Safurat Layode Abdukareem, running mate of the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje, Saturday lost at her polling unit to the APC. She polled 72 votes against APC’s 140.
Shortly after casting her vote, she had pleaded that candidates of the leading political parties and their supporters should accept the outcome of the gubernatorial election in the state in good fate.
She expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the elections.
She voted at Awhanjigoh Ward B, unit 009 in Badagry Local Government Area at exactly 2:25pm.
She noted that the election, from what she saw, was free and fair and devoid of malpractices.
“The election has been going very fine. From what I have seen so far, I can adjudge it to be free and fair.”
She expressed contrary opinion to claims that the election witnessed low turnout of voters, saying: ” The turnout is very much okay. It is not in any way lower to what we saw penultimate weekend. It all depends on how you see it but for me, the turnout is very impressive.”
Alhaja Abdukareem lauded the Independent Electoral Commission for improving on the performance of March 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
