The governor of Lagos easily won re-election in low turn-out local voting, figures showed on Sunday, a victory for Nigeria's ruling party just weeks after the commercial capital backed the opposition in a disputed presidential election.
With votes tallied in districts representing 95% of voters, incumbent Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the ruling All Progressive Congress had more than 736,000 votes, compared to just 292,000 for his closest rival, the Labour Party's Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
