Results of Alimosho, Ojo and Mushin are being expected.

Mushin’s result was initially announced but it was rejected as a result of disputed figures.

The former governor of Lagos, is projected to win majority votes in the State with Alimosho, Ojo and Mushin results being expected.

Alimosho which is the largest LGA in the State may likely give the APC flagbearer an edge over his arch-rival.

However, there are speculations Obi will win Ojo, an area dominated by non-indigenes, especially the Igbos.
