Early results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) favour Abiru, who is currently trumping his opponents across the five local government areas where the election was held, Saturday.

Reacting to the early results by INEC, PDP candidate, Gbadamosi, condemned the exercise, alleging that the electoral umpire manipulated the poll against him. Lagos East election

“The election was manipulated and I was clearly rigged out.” Gbadamosi claims.

But the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, has fired back at Gbadamosi’s claim, describing the allegations as laughable.

He said, “We’re not surprised by Gbadamosi’s reaction to the results of an election that’s yet to be officially declared because he’s so predictable.

“However, we acknowledge feelers from our agents who have reported overwhelming victory for Tokunbo Abiru.

“We can only emphatize with a serial contestant with a consistent record of monumental failure and rejection at the poll.

“The results as they trickle in have put a lie to his propaganda and fictitious opinion poll.

“The electorate in the Lagos East Senatorial have spoken loudly and decisively.

“The allegation of rigging is especially laughable with his loss in his ancestral home.”
