Obi takes Tinubu’s Lagos (See full result)

A shocker has been delivered in the ongoing presidential elections after the victory of Peter Obi, candidate of Labour Party, over Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, which is considered to be a stronghold of Tinubu.

This was as seen in the result announced at the INEC’s state collation centre in Lagos, pending an official announcement after ratification by the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje, made the announcement on Monday.

Lagos has traditionally been a political stronghold of the ruling party but years of disenchantment against the elite by the youth has resulted in the shocker.

In the final results declared, Obi (LP) garnered 582,454 against Tinubu’s (APC) 572,606. The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar got 75,750 votes, while Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) got 8,442 votes.

Total number of accredited voters were put at 1,347,152
