Widespread voter apathy and vote-buying characterized the local government elections held in Lagos and Ogun states on Saturday. Reports from different parts of the states showed that many voters shunned the polls for lack of interest in the exercise, fear of electoral violence, and lack of faith in the outcome of the election. For instance, a presiding officer at Ojodu Grammar School 1, Polling Unit 017, Abel Obina, said only seven persons had cast their votes as of 11.15am out of 150 registered voters. In most streets in the councils visited, youths of the voting age were seen playing street football while major roads were empty due to the enforcement of movement restrictions.
