The Chief of Staff to Lagos State Governor, Mr. Tayo Ayinde, has said that the election has been peaceful so far.
He spoke with reporters shortly after casting his vote in Polling Unit 014, Ikeja GRA.

Ayinde expressed confidence in his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), regarding its success in the poll.

He said, “I pray that by the grace of God, our party is going to come out victorious at the end of the day. Going by the magnitude of the work and the achievements of this present government in Lagos State and going by what all our council chairmen are doing presently in Lagos State, I think by the grace of God, we will carry the day.”

He praised the peaceful exercise, saying, “So far, so good. It has been so peaceful. People came out to vote on their own, and I’m sure that they voted for their choices.”

When queried about reports of elections starting behind schedule in many polling units across the state, the chief of staff attributed the delays to logistical issues.

He acknowledged that there can be room for improvement going forward in future elections.
