The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has won the presidential election in Lagos State.
He defeated Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) standard bearer, after the votes were calculated from all the 20 LGAs in the state.
Tinubu is a former Lagos governor and the state is historically his stronghold.
Observers say Obi would have won with a wider margin if not for the electoral crises witness in the state on election day ranging from late arrival of INEC staff to some polling units, Voter intimidation, harassment and outright destruction of voting materials by sponsored thugs.
The results:
APC: 572, 606
LP: 582, 354
NNPP: 8442
PDP: 75 750
SDP: 772
Accredited voters: 1,347152
