While Obi defeated Tinubu, the former Lagos State governor, the Labour Party has slammed INEC for conducting shambolic election, vowing to challenge the result. The party said its presidential candidate won with a wider margin than was published by INEC, which has been accused of doctoring results from polling units across Lagos State in favor of the APC.
