The All Progressives Congress, APC, is currently leading in the local government polls which ended at about 3pm as sorting and results are ongoing across the 57 councils of the state.

This is coming amid low turnout of voters across the councils.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, speaking with journalists after casting his vote at his Adeniji-Adele electoral ward, acknowledged the delay experienced in the early hours, blaming it on logistics.
