There will be heavy traffic in Lagos tomorrow, especially around V/I as several dignitaries are coming for the opening of the Eko Atlantic City Phase 1 inauguration. President Goodluck, Governor Fashola and even Bill Clinton among other "dignitaries" will be in attendance. It will begin at 10 a.m so the Ikeja area may be affected as well (they should be coming in from the airport).  

Just thought to warn Lagosians as we are usually not warned in these situations and then we end up spending the day in traffic.

Tomorrow, Ondo electorate will go to the polls to choose their 6th Executive Governor as the incumbent’s term ends in February 2013. This will also be the last of the 6 governorship elections held this year, while three more – Ekiti, Anambra and Osun – will hold before the 2015 General Elections.

In Edo’s July governorship election, the battle was between the Action Congress of Nigeria and the Peoples Democratic Party which had the full support of the Federal Government. However, Edo was critical to the ACN as the party was determined to keep its influence in a non-South-West state and Governor Adams Oshiomhole won the vote of the people decisively for a second term in office. While he was congratulated by his PDP opponent and Mr. President, there is still a case in court challenging the result of the election.
