The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won all the seats for the Local Government election that was held on Saturday.
This means the Chairmanship and vice-chairmanship, positions, as well as councilorship officers into 20 Local Government Areas, LGAs and 37 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, were won by the APC.
The ruling party in the state defeated the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties that were in the ballot.
The party has, therefore, expressed gratitude to Lagosians for the overwhelming victory given to its candidates in Saturday’s local government elections.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, the APC also thanked security agencies and officials of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) for the neutrality displayed throughout the conduct of the exercise.
The statement reads: “The Lagos state chapter APC wish to express our profound appreciation to the good people of Lagos state for reaffirming their faith in our party by overwhelmingly returning our candidates during the last Saturday’s Local Government elections. We acknowledge the difficulties in navigating the unusual elections with the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic and it’s attendant challenges.
“The professionalism of the security agencies and neutrality of the umpires also contributed to the success of the elections. The victory of APC has provided an opportunity for continued synergy by the state and local governments to bring all round socio-economic development to the state.
“We want to reassure Lagosians of the irrevocable commitment of our party to the security, welfare and the total delivery of our progressive manifestos.”
