While Tinubu may have secured more local government areas, Obi ultimately clinched the win with a higher number of total votes.

After the results from all 20 local governments were declared, Tinubu came out on top in 11 while Obi won in nine.

The final tally saw Obi receive 582,664 votes, while Tinubu trailed behind with 541,850.

This historic win for Obi has sent shockwaves throughout the country, as Lagos has long been considered a stronghold for the APC.

Obi’s strong showing in Lagos, coupled with his nationwide popularity, has cemented his position as a formidable contender for the nation’s top job.

‘Godfather’ of Lagos

Bola Tinubu is called the “godfather of Lagos” due to his significant influence in Lagos politics and his ability to shape the political landscape of Lagos State.

He is a former governor of Lagos State who served two terms between 1999 and 2007, and he has since maintained a significant presence in the political sphere of the state and Nigeria as a whole.

What’s more, Tinubu is known for his strategic political manoeuvres and clout, which have enabled him to play a crucial role in shaping the political careers of many politicians in Lagos and beyond.

He has been instrumental in the emergence of several political figures in Lagos, and many refer to him as the architect of modern Lagos politics.
