Lagos, Nigeria – E don come again o! This Saturday, July 12, 2025, local government elections go happen for Lagos, and the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) don drop some critical jam for us. According to the commission chairman, Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile (no, she no be your regular judge), if dem catch any ballot box wey don take a walk, bye-elections go show face fast-fast!
She clarify say, “We no dey pray for any wahala, but if ballot box kolo for anywhere, we go need to do bye-elections for that local government.” This one too serious, abeg! (Wetin people dey think say ballot box fit run go? Na something wey dey happen for movies o!)
No be only that, LASIEC boss assure everybody say dem ready to conduct dis election as free, fair, and transparent as your grandmother’s favorite palm wine. She sabi wetin she dey talk, and her body language show say dem don prepare well-well.
But wait, e get one thing wey fit spoil all the fun. The Lagos State Police Command don talk say dem go restrict vehicle movement for Saturday. CSP Benjamin Hundeyin (na him get name wey sound like movie star) don announce say dem don deploy enough police for strategic locations to prevent any funny business. E sure me say dem go do their work well.
So, Lagos people, make you shine your eyes well. As you dey cast your vote, make sure say you no allow anybody to carry ballot box go dance. If dem try am, we fit see ourselves gathering for another election very soon (dem no go joke with that one!).
Make we all pray say dis election go pass without any gbagada (no wahala, no running ballot boxes). Na so we fit enjoy good governance wey dem promise for us. Abeg, no forget to monitor your vote, and remember say your voice dey matter!
