Lagos Election result: Falz challenges Sanwo, “You selected yourself, not re-elected”

Falz, a well-known musician and attorney, has criticized Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for being re-elected after he celebrated following the Lagos election result.

Recall that Sanwo-Olu was declared the winner after Lagos election result was collated on Monday by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), receiving 762,134 votes overall to win the election for a second four-year term.

With 312,329 votes, the Labour Party (LP) came in second, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with 62,449 votes, came in third.

The Governor in an appreciation post on his verified Twitter handle @jidesanwoolu thanked Lagosian for coming out in their numbers to seal his reelection.

The governor expressed his gratitude for Lagosian’ large turnout to secure his reelection in a post on his verified Twitter account, @jidesanwoolu.

Falz, on the other hand, did not take kindly to his post and immediately replied, “You were not re-elected. You selected yourself. Everybody saw it unfold. You are only deceiving yourselves.”

Here is the tweet:
