LAGOS, Nigeria – Some political bigwigs in Lagos Island have perfected plans to rig out Prince Kayode Akiolu, son of HRM, Oba Rilwan Akiolu I from ongoing primary of the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) in Lagos Island, South-West, Nigeria. Prince Akiolu, son of the Oba of Lagos, emerged winner in the unconfirmed results signed by all representatives of aspirants contesting the election.
The election which was conducted in a free and fair outmospher on the 4th of October, 2018 in Lagos Island, Constituency (II) became subject of controversy when the results got to the secretariat of the APC in Acme Road, Lagos. The outcome of the result shows that Prince Akinolu won in all the wards in the constituency where his father wields enormous influence on the electorates.
An eyewitness, Badru Eyinlohun who is familiar with the development said Prince Akinolu was duely elected in the election and that some people just want to subvert the wishes of the people of Lagos Island for selfish reasons.
“I was among the electorates who voted for the emergence of Prince Akinolu as our representative in the primary for Eti- Osa Constituency. This election went on smoothly and all the constestants were aware of the outcome of the result that produced Prince Akinolu. Just like a football game, alll the contestants and their supporters have accepted the outcome.
“Moments after the conduct of the election news filted into town that some people are sitting on the result. They don’t want to announce the result. In fact, I was told that they have resolved to rig the election for their own candidate.
“There are 10 wards in Lagos Island Constituency and Prince Kayode Akiolu won in all. They should announce the result so that we will have quality representation in the green chambers”, Eyinlohun said.
