The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, on Wednesday, issued certificates of return to the winners of Saturday’s Local Government Council election.
The certificates were presented to the newly elected chairmen, vice chairmen, and councillors of 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas in the state at the commission’s headquarters in Sabo Yaba.
During the certificate presentation ceremony, LASIEC Chairman, Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile (retd), urged the newly-elected council officials to prioritize grassroots development and strive for excellence in their process.
Okikiolu-Ighile expressed appreciation to the electorate, security, media, and other stakeholders, including over 45,000 ad hoc staff, for their active participation and dedication throughout the electoral process.
“This ceremony is a remarkable milestone that signifies the end of one electoral process and the beginning of another, as the tenure of office of the incumbent chairmen, vice-chairmen, and councillors ends on July 26, 2025.
“With these certificates, LASIEC officially affirms the mandate wholeheartedly given to you in trust by people from various communities.
“This certificate of return confirms you as a validly elected candidate of your respective local government or local council development area,” Okikiolu-Ighile said.
The chairman acknowledged and commended the dedication and the display of professionalism by LASIEC staff as well as recruited and co-personnel.
“I appreciate their steadfast commitment despite the operational and logistics challenges experienced during the very early hours of the exercise,” she added.
According to LASIEC’s Sunday results announcement, the All Progressives Congress emerged victorious in all 57 chairmanship seats and 375 out of 376 councillorship positions, leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with only one councillorship seat, Ward D in Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA).
