In the 17 local government areas declared so far in Lagos State, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has won seven while his counterpart, Peter Obi of the Labour Party has won Seven.
Despite losing his local government, Ikeja to Obi, things still seem to be going his way in the state.
According to the results from 17 out of the 20 LGAs of the state released before the INEC adjourned at about 3:50am till 10am to continue with the announcement of the results, Tinubu has won in 10 out of them.
However, Obi, who has seven LGAs in his kitty, is leading by sheer votes.
Tinubu has so far won in Agege, Apapa, Badagry, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ifako-Ijaiye, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland and Surulere LGAs, while Obi took Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Amuwo-Odofin, Eti-Osa, Ikeja, Kosofe, Oshodi-Isolo and Somolu.
But in terms of number of votes, Obi has 32,657 more than Tinubu.
While Obi has 449,088 votes, Tinubu has so far polled 416,431 votes.
There are 20 local government areas in the state.
Aside from Ikeja, where Mr Obi recorded a big upset, the LP candidate also won in Kosofe and Somolu Local Governments, widely seen as strongholds of the APC.
