Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has beating his arch-rival, Mr. Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to become the next governor of Lagos.
Ambode’s victory has served to douse ethnic tension in the country’s former capital, with some creative minds coming up with a photo of Igbos in the lagoon being implored by their Yoruba friends to come out and resume their business activities as the worst is over. Tension had flared between both ethnic groups when Oba of Lagos, Alhaji Rilwan Akiolu, threatened that Igbos would drown in the lagoon if they sabotaged efforts to install Ambode. Below is the detailed result of the election held yesterday.
