The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari has won the presidential election in Lagos State. But the analysis of the voting trend shows an ethnic cleavage in the state

The Local Governments are Ajeromi/Ifelodun where the PDP polled 57,494 votes and APC, 37,715; Oshodi/Isolo, where the PDP scored 48,878 votes and APC, 42,585; Amuwo Odofin where the PDP got 39,391 votes as against 24,612 votes polled by APC.
Governor Babatunde Fashola lost his Surulere Local Government to the PDP as Jonathan won there by polling 58,649 votes and APC, 52,798 votes. In Ojo, PDP polled 40,685 votes as against 26,117 votes for APC.

Igbo kweeeenuuu!! We are getting there bit by bit.....the ultimate prize is Governor`s office at Alausa and we will get it by the next election....by God`s grace we have the numbers.
Sorry is ur name, have you not seen that you re a failure already.
IHere comes the pride again.If the motive was a perception of the need for change for better governance, I would have no problem with your people's actions. But it is clear that it was based on tribalism. It is clear that Igbos are still politically tribal. If Yorubas were to do the same, the Igbos would not smell Alahusa.
