At exactly 6:58 PM, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate in Lagos, Jimi Agbaje put a phone call to concede defeat and congratulate Ambode Akinwumi, All Peoples Congress candidate.

Ambode’s campaign, Steve Ayorinde, confirmed this to PREMIUM TIMES. Ayorinde said in response, Mr. Ambode thanked Mr. Agbaje and wished him well.

It would be recalled that that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan did the same two weeks ago by congratulating President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC.

Meanwhile, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared the winner of the April 11 election.

Mr Ambode polled 811,994 votes, with the runner-up and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Jimi Agbaje, polling 659,788 votes.

Announcing the results on Sunday, the returning officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Lagos State, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, declared that “Ambode Akinwunmi of the APC, having satisfied the requirement of the law, securing at least 25 per cent of votes in all local governments and scoring the highest votes is hereby declared the winner and his is returned elected”.
