Nigeria election 2023: Anger in Lagos as people wait to vote

Lagos #Lagos

Here are some photos from Amuwo Odofin in Lagos as people wait, saying officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) have not showed up.

Most say they have been at the polling unit since 07:00 GMT (08:00 local time). It is 11.40 GMT (12.40 local time) at the time of writing this.

Whitney Eziechina, who has also been at the polling unit since the morning, says both her brother and father have already voted at other units.

“No Inec official has turned up since morning. I must vote and it must count.”

Uchechi Igwe echoes her sentiments. He travelled from Germany to vote in this election.

“I paid my flights just to come here to vote for a president. I am here and no-one is here. How? We’ve been here since morning! I feel so bad! This is just a means of rigging the election.”
