The Lagos State Collation Center is where PREMIUM TIMES is covering the presidential election.
The publication had stated that Mr. Tinubu had just barely edged out the competition after the results from 12 local government areas had been announced.
But once more local government areas had their results announced, Mr. Obi caught up to him and then passed him.
On the other side, Mr. Obi won the wards of Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Amuwo-Odofin, Eti-Osa, Ikeja, Kosofe, and Somolu.
Mushin, Ojo, and Alimosho are the final three local government areas where results are anticipated.
