2023 Elections: Obi Leads Tinubu With Over 1,000 Votes In 17 Lagos LGAs

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), is leading his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Bola Tinubu, by over 1,000 votes in 17 local government areas (LGAs) in Lagos State.

As of 07:30 a.m. on Monday, Obi had received 448,878 votes, while Tinubu had received 447,187 votes in Lagos’ 17 local government areas.

The figures are based on the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) results for the February 25 presidential election in Lagos.

The floor was opened on Sunday by INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje, at the state collation centre in the Yaba area of the state, and the collation lasted until midnight on Monday.

The results for 17 of the state’s 20 LGAs presented by 3:40 am on Monday including Lagos Mainland, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos Island, Badagry, Agege, Ikeja, Shomolu, Kosofe, Amuwo Odofin, Eti Osa, Surulere, Apapa, Ifako Ijaiye, Ajeromi, Oshodi Isolo.

The results presented for Mushin LGA have yet to be cleared by the state collation officer because they are being contested by the Inter-party Advisory Committee (IPAC), and thus most party agents have yet to sign.

INEC requested that they be presented again.

Meanwhile, the only two LGAs yet to be announced are Ojo and Alimosho. The state REC is expected to reconvene later on Monday to finalize the results.

Lagos collected 6,214,970 of the 87, 209,007 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collected nationwide for the election. Kano comes in second with 5,594,193 and Kaduna comes in third with 4,164, 473.

From 1999 to 2007, the governor of the state was based in Lagos. Other presidential candidates in the race, besides Tinubu and Obi, an ex-governor of Anambra State, include Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
