Obi’s votes overtake Tinubu’s in Lagos

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi is leading by votes in the results of the Presidential election held in Lagos on Saturday.

Before the collation was adjourned at 3:30am a total of 17 local governments had been declared by INEC.

APC’s Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu won 10 of the local governments while LP won seven.

The local governments won by Tinubu include Agege, Apapa, Badagry, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ifako-Ijaiye, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland and Surulere.

Obi won Eti-Osa, Amuwo Odofin, Ikeja, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Kosofe, Oshodi-Isolo and Somolu.

In total, Obi has polled 449,088 votes while Tinubu has so far garnered 416,,431 votes.

Only the results of Alimosho, Ojo and Mushin are being expected.

Mushin LG’s result was initially announced by the Collation Officer but it was rejected to some dispute in the figure.

Tinubu, a former Governor of the State, is still projected to win the majority votes in the state with Alimosho, Ojo and Mushin results still outstanding.

Obi is projected to win Ojo, an area dominated by non-indigenes especially the Igbos.
