The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos state says no result from the 20 LGAs has arrived at the collation centre.

Adenike Oladiji, the state collation officer and vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), spoke during the official opening of the centre for the final collation of election results.

”This is a serious national assignment that has brought us together here,” NAN quoted him as saying.

”It is also an assignment that is of international importance, and that explains why we have international observers here with us.

Our job is simple. If we follow the well-laid-out procedures of INEC, we know it is very simple and easy.

”It is a call to duty, it is a national assignment and we hope that we will not fail our country. As we can all see, the result are not here yet.

”So that we won’t keep ourselves just waiting expecting the results, we are proposing that we reconvene tomorrow (Sunday) at 10. am.

We know that by that time some of our results will be here and we will be able to process them all in this hall.”

Speaking with Journalists at the collation centre, Segun Agbaje, the resident electoral commissioner in Lagos said the collation of results cannot go forward because results are yet to come in from the local government areas.

On late voting, Agbaje said the commission had some challenges in Eti Osa, and Magodo till about 10:30 pm, but they have reported to the Lagos commissioner of police.

He added that the non-appearance of INEC staff and electoral materials at two polling units in Eti Osa, Igbokusu town II, have been reported to the commissioner of police and proper steps will be taken.

As of 10 am, the Lagos INEC was yet to convene for the collation of LGA results as promised.

TheCable had reported that Segun Agbaje, the resident electoral commissioner, promised to reconvene the process this morning

Muhammed Yakubu, the Kano State Commissioner of Police, has reacted after viral videos showed children voting during the election in Kano State.

An Arise TV host asked Yakubu about minors voting in Kano State.

Reacting, Yakubu said: "It is very difficult to determine by mere appearance who is a minor or not."

The police commissioner continued: "Most of the ones you are seeing, maybe their genetic... their growth rate might be impaired. So, I don't know. All those that you see voting, they're adults that have been approved by INEC and I cannot change it."

Have you considered other skills? If this is what you can think of right now, then go ahead. It's better than staying ideal. I believe clarity will come while you're at it.

You'll still grow older whether you learn it or not. There's nothing like “too old” when trying to better yourself. Do it now, so you won't ask five years from now if you're too old.

UK is in a mess presently. Everyone is running away from the challenges facing them. How many of their Prime Ministers have resigned recently.
