Nigeria’s Peter Obi wins in Lagos state in presidential election
(https://t.me/theriotimes/8329)Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi, whose campaign attracted young people and urban voters fed up with corrupt politics, has won most votes in the commercial hub of Lagos state, where Africa’s biggest city is located.

Nigeria’s electoral commission began announcing state-by-state results in the national elections on Sunday, although it is not expected to name a victor in the race to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari for several days.

Obi of the Labour Party got 582,454 votes, just ahead of 572,606 for former Lagos governor Bola Tinubu for the governing All Progressives Congress party, electoral commission data showed on Monday. Lagos was previously Tinubu’s main stronghold.
