Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the current governor of Lagos State and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been declared the winner of the gubernatorial election that took place on Saturday, March 18.
After tallying 762,134 votes, Sanwo-Olu emerged victorious, defeating his closest opponent, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party, who tallied 312 327 votes. Sanwo-Olu received 762,134 votes. Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor, the candidate for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), finished a distant third with 62,449 votes.
“I declare that the governorship candidate of the APC, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, having satisfied the requirements of the law by scoring 25 per cent in two-thirds of the local government areas in the state, and also scoring the highest number of valid votes cast is here today to claim victory in this election,” said Prof. Adenike Temidayo Oladiji, the state Collation/Returning Officer for INEC in Ondo State and Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology
In a response to the result, Mrs. Dayo Ekong, who was serving as both the Chairperson of the LP in Lagos State and an LP agent at the collation center, declared that the result was invalid. She referred to the whole electoral process as a farce when she was singing the second stanza of the national anthem. She said, “This is an election that is riddled with violence, and people were enormously disenfranchised.” Since the INEC has dropped its standards, the Labour Party is rejecting the results in their entirety.
The breakdown of the final results may be seen below:
A – 800 AA – 904 AAC – 627 ADC – 6078 ADP – 2833 APC – 762134 APL – 884 APP – 259 BP – 616 LP – 312329 NNPP – 1583 NRM – 340 PDP – 62449 SDP – 1746 YPP – 461 ZLP – 1635 YPP – 461 ZLP – 1635 A

The Labour Party, LP, has threatened to organize protests across Nigeria because it believes that the opposition in the states of Abia and Enugu is tampering with election results.

This was announced in a statement released on Sunday and signed by Julius Abure, the party’s national chairman.

According to Abure, some Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) employees were held hostage at Obingwa LGA by PDP supporters in Abia state.

The PDP in Enugu was charged by the Labour Party with tampering with the results of the governorship election.

“The Labour Party had carefully examined all violations, and we have vowed never once more to allow the usurpation of power through deceitful means as it was done in the past and merely demand that you go to court.

“If this is not addressed, we will be left with no choice but to mobilize Obidients all over the country to take over the streets across the length and breadth of the country,” the statement said in part.
