CITIZENS COMPASS- THE incumbent  governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has won 18 local government areas out of the 20 LGAs of the state in the just concluded governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

The Governor who is seeking for second term bid contested for the position under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the results on Sunday at its state collation centre in Yaba, Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu who is seeking re-election is contesting against the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olajide Oladiran, and the candidate of the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

The incumbent governor polled the highest number of votes in Lagos Island, Epe, Agege, Ibeju-lekki, Surulere, Ikeja, Mushin, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Apapa, Ifako-Ijaiye, Badagry and Lagos Mainland.

Other LGAs where Sanwo-Olu won were Alimosho, Ojo, Ikorodu, Kosofe, Oshodi-Isolo, and Amuwo-Odofin.
