Former Lagos State governor, now Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has made a revelation.

He said: “In some cases, you get blindsided. We were blindsided in Lagos State because the opposition turned out their voters there.”

“And you also saw that the umbrella party that has been competitive for 24 years suddenly disappeared. It showed that their support base has shifted.”

“On whether Obi’s victory in Lagos during the presidential poll surprised the ruling party? Yeah, blindsided us, without a doubt.”

“They turned out their voters, and in the subsequent gubernatorial poll, we turned out our voters.”
