Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has queried the outcome of the governorship and State Assembly polls of Saturday, April 11, 2015 in Lagos State.
In a Tweet which he shared via his official Twitter page in the early hours of Tuesday, April 14, 2015, Obanikoro wondered how the total number of votes cast for the gubernatorial election in the state managed to outnumber that of the presidential election.
“How did the total number of votes cast for the gubernatorial election in Lagos outnumber that of the presidential election?” he quizzed.
That I congratulated Ambode should not be mistaken for the idea that the gubernatorial elections in Lagos were free and fair. #MO

I congratulated Ambode based on the larger interest of Lagos State. Amaechi and his co-travelers in Rivers State should learn from this. #MO

The US Government should play the role of an impartial observer in Nigeria. In 2000, the presidential election in Florida had its flaws. #MO

Compared to the presidential election, fewer people came out to vote last Saturday in Lagos. International observers confirmed this. #MO
