In an upset for the ages, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has defeated Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State in a development that appears to end the latter’s long grip in the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) results showed Mr Obi won in a hotly-contested race against Mr Tinubu, a former two-time state governor in the country’s commercial hub who has long prided himself as the invincible leader.
Final results declared by the electoral office showed Mr Obi won 582,454 for Labour Party against Mr Tinubu’s 572,606 for the APC. The Peoples Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar came a distant third in the exercise.
