With most of the results already collated in the governorship election in Lagos state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressives Congress, will be declared early Sunday as the governor-elect.
In the tightest governorship election, the APC candidate was able to edge out the stiff opposition of Mr. Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party, by winning about 55 per cent of the votes cast.
Agbaje got about 45 per cent of the votes, in the result shown TheNews Saturday night.
Agbaje was able to challenge the APC candidate with the massive vote of Igbo residents of Lagos, who appeared to have repeated the voting pattern exhibited two weeks ago, in the presidential election, in which they cast their ballots for the PDP.
From the results seen by us,the APC won in 15 local councils, while the PDP won in five.
