Lagos APC Insists Sanwo-Olu Will Defeat all Gubernatorial Contestants

The Lagos State chapter of the APC has declared Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the winner of Tuesday’s governorship primary.

This was contrary to the position of the Clement Ebiri-led panel, which had earlier declared the election that produced Sanwo-Olu as the winner as a nullity.

Ebiri had said that the primary would be rescheduled as the state chapter has no power to conduct the party governorship primary election on its own.

However, the Lagos State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, had announced Sanwo-Olu as the winner of the primary with nine hundred and seventy, eight hundred and fifty-one thousand votes to defeat Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode, who polled 72, 901 votes.
