Adesua Etomi-Wellington Instagram – Our polling unit was relatively peaceful. There was a huge turn out, probably about 2000 people.
We got there at 7am and members of the community were already organizing things in terms of giving us numbers and sitting arrangements. Shout out to @theonlychigul @bankywellington @debolalagos @ebuka and a few others.
The INEC officials didn’t show up till almost 11am and voting didn’t start till 12pm. For a polling unit with these many voters, it was a bit crazy that we had only 2 BVAS machines. At 1:35pm when we voted, there were at least 1500 people still waiting to be accredited and to vote.
I’m so impressed with the turn out. People SHOWED UP in Eti-Osa to vote! We were fortunate enough to have a peaceful polling unit but we fear it’s not been the same for a lot of people in our LGA, Lagos and Nigeria at large.
Why must we resort to violence??
A free and fair election is what we hoped for.
To everyone out there who’s standing their ground, fighting the good fight and insisting on their vote counting, GOD bless you!
We won’t give up!
