The Independent National Electoral Commission has announced an adjournment of the announcement of the results of the presidential election in Lagos State.
The INEC Returning Officer for Lagos State, Prof. Funmilayo Odukoya, announced this at the Yaba Collation Centre.
This was at about 3:50am.
Odukoya said the break was necessitated by the non-arrival of results from two local government areas, including Alimosho.
She said the collation centre would reconvene at 10am.
Among the 18 LGAs announced, the All Progressives Congress and Labour Party were leading.
The first 11 LGAs announced by 12:21am on Monday were Lagos Mainland, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos Island, Badagry, Agege, Ikeja, Kosofe, Amuwo Odofin, and Eti Osa.
