Lagos Governor Secures Re-election for Ruling Party.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressive Congress has won re-election as governor of Lagos with a clear margin over his closest rival from the Labour Party. The low-turnout local voting marks a victory for Nigeria’s ruling party just weeks after the commercial capital backed the opposition in a disputed presidential election. Governors wield wide influence in Africa’s most populous nation, and their support can help decide who becomes president.
