The chairman of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile (retd.), has said that there are three factions of the Labour Party in Lagos.

“Three factions of the Labour Party in Lagos invited us to observe their primaries,” the chairman said.
According to her, LASIEC officials did not honour the invitation due to the perceived division in the party.
