Peter Obi of the Labour Party won the Lagos State presidential election, defeating Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, according to the official results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Bola Tinubu received 572,606 votes in Lagos, but Peter Obi received 582,454 votes to win.
However, in a recent video shared on YouTube by Sahara TV, Dele Farotimi, a key member of the Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organization Afenifere and a notable Lagos lawyer, offered a different perspective. Farotimi claimed that Peter Obi won resoundingly in Lagos, citing the PDP’s situation room report. According to him, this report indicates that Bola Tinubu received less than 20% of the votes cast in Lagos
In Farotimi’s words: “Peter Obi won resoundingly [in Lagos], don’t take my word for it, take the PDP’S situation room report which shows very clearly that Bola Tinubu made less than 20% of the vote in Lagos” .
