After the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner for Lagos, Olusegun Agbaje, declared the state collation centre in Yaba, open on Sunday, results for 17 of the 20 local government areas (LGAs) in the state were released at 3.40 am on Monday.

The results for Mushin LGA generated controversies, the results were disputed by the Inter-party Advisory Committee (IPAC), and was, therefore, not signed by some party agents.
