Honourable Justice Bola Okikiolu Ighile, disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Badagry West Local Council Development Area (LCDA). She emphasized the commission's commitment to conducting credible elections, noting that additional polling booths will be introduced to facilitate a smooth voting experience.
The visit was met with enthusiasm from the Council Chairman, Hon. Gbenu Henugbe Joseph, who reassured LASIEC of the local government’s full support in ensuring a peaceful and well-organized election. "Badagry West is a peaceful area, and we are ready to work with LASIEC to guarantee a hitch-free election," she stated.
According to Badagry Parrot, Justice Ighile, who has resided in Badagry for three years, reaffirmed that LASIEC is taking proactive steps to uphold electoral integrity. "We are putting a lot of machinery in motion to ensure the success of the elections. The notice will be out soon, and our guidelines will also be released shortly," she announced.
She further urged the local government leadership to mobilize residents to adhere to the electoral timetable and complete necessary validations on time. "By the grace of God, the election will hold this year as planned," she assured.
This development signals LASIEC's commitment to transparency and inclusivity in the electoral process. With the Lagos State House of Assembly also set to amend the LASIEC Law to curb electoral malpractice and rigging, the commission is poised to deliver a free, fair, and credible local government election.
