LAGOS STATE

Lagos preliminary results: Buhari (APC) 444 273. Jonathan (PDP) 300 806.

The collation of results of Saturday’s election in Lagos is still ongoing at the various collation centres across the state. At the state INEC secretariat in Yaba, few people are seen moving around in the premises. But there are over a dozen armed security agents stationed around the secretariat. An official said the place would become a beehive of activities in the evening when final results from all the centers would start coming in.
