Whichever way the result goes, I will accept it as the will of God,’’ the People’s Democratic Party governorship candidate for Lagos State, Dr Ade Dosunmu, said on Tuesday.



Dosunmu, however, told journalists after casting his ballot at the Nathan Street, Surulere that he was optimistic of victory.



“I have got to this stage; we have put out the right strategies and have gone to the nooks and crannies of this state. So, I leave the judgment to the people,’’ he said.



Interestingly, Dosumu, lost the election in his ward to the Action Party of Nigeria.



The ACN candidate in the poll is the incumbent governor of the state, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, (SAN).



Also, the former PDP Chairman for South-West, Chief Bode George, was beaten in his ward by the ACN.



Indeed, in Dosumu’s ward Fashola scored 174 votes to Dosumu’s 90, while at George’s ward, the PDP got 74 votes against the ACN’s 210.



Meanwhile, at the State Junior (Special) Grammar School on Itolo Street, where Fashola voted, he polled 317 votes to Dosumu’s 16.



Curiously, during the April 16 presidential poll, the PDP standard-bearer, Goodluck Jonathan, garnered 141 votes against 77 votes scored by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu of the ACN.
