Hon Moshood Olanrewaju Oshun the All Progressives Congress Reps candidate in Lagos Mainland has emerged victorious after the Saturday 25th of February election, having polled a total of 22,479 valid votes as against that of his closest contender the PDP candidate who polled 13,071 votes.
Oshun was after the summation of votes garnered from the eleven wards in Lagos Mainland federal constituency reasserts his close relationship with his constituents who defied all odds to cast their votes for him.
The astute lawmaker who represents Lagos Mainland constituency 2 at the Lagos state House of Assembly along with a whole lots of other eligible voters, cast his vote quite late owing to faulty Bimodal Voters Accreditation System BVAS machine, which was resuscitated after over three hours of queuing by electorates to perform their franchise.
In his chat with newsmen after casting his vote , Oshun commended all his constituents for their patience while noting that it is important INEC ensure all those who were on queue ended up voting and that none should be disenfranchised for no fault of their’s.
“I want to commend the people for their patience because where I voted in 004 the BVAS started working about an hour ago and people have been here since 8:30 am.
“This is already some minutes after two o’clock the machine started working about one o’clock so that means people have been waiting for three, four hours the BVAS machine is not working and we have so many polling units in mainland where the machine is not working .
“If you go Unilag we have about seven polling units there for about four hours only two was working, if go to Ajayi Bembe it wasn’t working till very late, even 003 didn’t start working for about three hours so really, I want to commend our people for their patience.
“I just hope that our people would not be disenfranchised,I can’t read this election for now, because the report I have in my constituency have not been very pleasant.
“We have so many places where the BVAS was not working and people waited for three to four hours and I am sure by 3 o’clock INEC will tell us they are going to close up.
“Some have left, that is why we said to INEC they can’t close now, but in all the turn out is not too bad.” Oshun said.
