Tinubu triumphed in Agege, Apapa, Badagry, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ifako-Ijaiye, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, and Surulere.
The victory of Peter Obi in Lagos has been described a surprise to many considering the history of the APC in the State.
Since 1999, Lagos State has been regarded a stronghold of its Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, who has never lost any election in the State.
Reacting to the development, @MartinObanti, tweeted, “Peter Obi scored more than X3 Tinubu’s votes. Despite the reckless rigging and disenfranchisements, Peter still won.”
Another tweep, @DJbrytofficial, tweeted,”The problem is not winning in Lagos, the result was tempered with, and will most likely affect at the end. LP should be leading with a huge number. ”
@Firstlastship, also tweeted, “Sanwo-Olu is panicking & shitting in his pants right now. LP flipped Tinubu’s stronghold Alimosho LGA with over 10,000.
This should tell you the actual results of Rivers state. Peter Obi is more popular than Wike & Tinubu combined.”
A Lagos resident, @Tochi, also tweeted, “I’m not even happy with these results. I’m in Ojo and I can tell you APC didn’t get 2k votes in the whole Ojo. After voting I was going about polling units in iba
The got 4 against LP 188 in my polling unit 093 iba. I don’t know who gave them 20k votes in Ojo”
Also @Iheofor, tweeted, “We will still investigate the numbers.. Tinubu did not score up to 7% of vote in Lagos.. Aside from the Labour winning,Those APC numbers are rigged & we will take that percentage away from Tinubu”
