Non-indigene wins in Lagos



The first non-indigene to win a federal constituency seat in Lagos, Oghne Egoh, has said he will attract infrastructure to the state.
Egoh, who will represent Amuwo Odofin, made the promise in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
NAN reports that Egoh of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) polled 29,761 votes to defeat the incumbent, Ganiyu Olukolu, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who scored 20,616 votes.
“In this particular constituency, the biggest problem we have is the decay of infrastructure; there is no water, sewage system is bad, and there are no playing grounds,” he said.
Egoh promised to lobby ministers in charge of the ministries responsible for such facilities for an improved infrastructure in his constituency.
The lawmaker-elect, who hails from Delta State, said his house-to-house campaign paid off, adding that he had been working for the election in the last two years.
