For the presidential poll 2 weeks ago APC : 140 LP : 240
LP won here in a landslide few weeks ago. This polling booth is quite ethnically diverse. I gauge the results here to know how the rest of the state will turn up. Sanwo will win this election in a landslide. Chinedu should not even mention rigging.

madridguy: The nearest year anyone from the SE can win the presidential election is 2039.
So, NC won't rule Nigeria? Here is what I see.
2023 -2031 - The President-elec, Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2031- 2039 - North-East 2039 - 2047 - North-Central (a detribalized Igbo man will be VP) 2047 - 2055 - The tribalized igbo VP will be made president
In reality, there is no chance for the SE until 2047 - almost 24 years from now. Obi will be 90 years old by then
The Court of Appeal will rule on the BVAS case between Peter Obi and INEC. If INEC wins, then 70% of strong evidence of election fraud is Gone. If Peter Obi wins, State elections will not hold this Saturday. What will the court choose - Justice or Continuation of the fraud called elections?
To all obident silent its deadly we need to come out in masses for our manadiate enough is enough!! If your in Abuja join on our on going massive protest across all country.
Gossiphub: While Gov Sanwo-Olu is busy running from TV to radio station, GRV is on the ground at the site of the Akere market burned by political thugs. Make of this what you will. A New Lagos is coming. GRV is the architect. Eko, get ready!
Does this mean the classic Yoruba behaviour is bad?
It is not only an insult to Pastor Adeboye but the entire Yoruba race. What is classic Yoruba behavior? This also shows this guy harbors the typical nyanmuri hatred towards the Yoruba race.
On saturday, this will be settled once and for all.
Afikoo: Pastor Sarah Omakwu of Family Worship Centre Abuja has rejected the announcement of Tinubu as As President elect saying He was appointed by INEC.
envoymedia: APC Reconstructing Lagos Guber Election As "War" Between Igbo & Yoruba - Soyombo
Nigerian investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo has stated that the ruling party (APC) are trying so hard to reconstruct Saturday’s Lagos governorship election as a “war” between the Igbo and Yoruba, IGBERETV reports.
To support his statement, he shared screenshots from a WhatsApp group ‘BAT RESPONSE SQUAD’. His tweets read;
For the first time in history, we witnessed an election that produced no loser. All contestants won the election, if the claims by the LP/Obi and PDP/ Atiku are anything to go by. They have both vowed to approach the court to prove their claims. The coming days and weeks will be interesting as judges listen to all the winners in the election. May be eventually, the court will have to instruct INEC to print more certificates of return so all the winners can get a copy each
The presidential election has come and gone. However, it left an unforgettable lesson, which hopefully would shape our expectations in the future elections. The presidential electioneering started with different opinion polls by local and foreign organizations. There was ANAP, NOI, BANTU, OBI and Son's, etc, all telling us Obi would win. Some of us questioned the correctness of these polls and the people behind them. We questioned the method used, the spread, etc. We told them most voters are not on social media and many can't even be reached by phone. They didnt listen and remained stuck to their deceits called polls. Some even started celebrating their impending victory after each poll and casting aspersion on other candidates.
Today, the real result has emerged. Their projected candidate didn't even come second.
Obi won all pre-election polls but performed woefully in the real election, scoring less than 5% of the votes in many states across the country.
Kobonaire4: Here is a thought. 13.1 million people did not vote for APC, out of the 21 m who did vote.
If those 13.1 million people had voted for one party, APC would have been voted out. But because they voted for 3 different parties, the votes got divided, and APC won the election.
The truth is, APC lost this election. Most Nigerians did not vote for them, nor do they like them. But they won because Atiku and Peter Obi and Kwankwaso and Wike could not at the very least compromise with each other.
That is the sad cold truth. A disunited opposition loses the election.
Like I said, APC did not win this election, the opposition lost it.
Oponu... Why didn't the 13.1m voters come together and vote for a single candidate? Can you also tell us the number of people who voted against Obi and the number of Nigerians who voted against Atiku?
On behalf of Obi and Atiku, the result of the presidential election is hereby accepted and I congratulate the president-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory.
There are more than 10,000 polling units in rivers and you shared irregularities in about 2 polling units. How will this change or affect the final outcome of the election in the state?
Fahdiga: This yet to be concluded election has proved once again that Igbos will be better off in their own country than this forced and failed contraption called Nigeria. Every honest person knows Obi won the election but the evil forces holding this country down truncated the wish of majority of the people. This is the time that everyone goes their sesperate ways and govern themselves.
Jashub: INEC is joking with Nigerians abi ...? Okay na...make wey dey watch
Ori e ti daru... It is only when Obi wins that the election is free and fair. It is also rigging that made Obi lose in sokoto, zamfara, kebbi, kano, jigawa, borno, niger, yobe, gombe, kwara, kogi, ogun, ekiti, oyo, etc
