The Lagos State Government is conducting an opinion poll on twitter to determine whether Lagosians want an extension to the lockdown or not. This uncanny move is being conducted via its twitter handle and on Wednesday and had garnered over 64,000 votes. Lagos State has a population of over 15 million.
Last week, Lagos State threatened to revert to full lockdown if there is no improvement in adherence to the public health guidelines.
Considering the level of compliance with government's directives on limiting the spread of Covid-19 in a Lagos State, should the State Government impose another lockdown or not? @jidesanwoolu @JokeSanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @ProfAkinAbayomi @LSMOH @gboyegaakosile @Mr_JAGss

Poll Results
The poll was also featured on the Facebook Page of LASG but did not gather as much view as it has on Twitter. It is unclear if the state plans to use the data for decisions on whether to revert the state to a lockdown mode or not. To view the ongoing poll results (which has a day left before it closes) users will have to take a vote. We did and the current results suggest most voters prefer a lockdown to help contain the virus spread. With one day left about 49.8% to prefer another lockdown.
