THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the governorship and House of Assembly elections in 10 polling units at the Victoria Garden City (VGC), Lagos State, till tomorrow, Sunday, March 19.
Eight polling units are within the VGC, while two are in its commercial area.
There were disagreements in the morning after the INEC ad-hoc staff refused to enter the estate.
According to them, they were held hostage during the last presidential election, which took place on February 25.
They chose to conduct the poll at the estate’s gate, but the residents expressed fear thugs might disrupt the exercise.
