UPDATE: SANWO-OLU WINS 19 OUT OF 20 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
By Aishat Momoh. O.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State and the APC candidate, won 18 of the state’s 20 local government areas in the recently held governorship and state House of Assembly elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission made the announcement on Sunday at its state collation facility in Yaba, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu, who is running for re-election, is up against Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party and Olajide Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The incumbent governor polled the highest number of votes in Lagos Island, Epe, Agege, Ibeju-lekki, Surulere, Ikeja, Mushin, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Apapa, Ifako-Ijaiye, Badagry and Lagos Mainland.
Other LGAs where Sanwo-Olu won were Alimosho, Ojo, Ikorodu, Kosofe, Oshodi-Isolo, and Amuwo-Odofin.
However, his opponent, Rhodes-Vivour, defeated the ruling party in Amuwo-Odofin.
The only result left is from Eti-Osa LGA which is yet to be released due to the election currently being held at the Victoria Garden City polling units.
