Nigerians have taken to social media to bare their minds on the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial primary election in Lagos held today.
Majority of results from wards where the election held across the state showed a massive lead for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu-backed challenger, Babajide Sanwo-Olu against incumbent governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
In some of the results sighted by The Herald, Ambode failed to record any vote while Sanwo-Olu got hundreds.
While many Nigerians have urged the governor to concede defeat, many others have urged him to decamp to another party in order to realise his second-term ambition.

Has Epe results trickled in?
Ambode can still pull a surprise o.
Imagine 99,000 – 0 in favor of Ambode from Epe vote!
Just kidding.#LagosAPCPrimaries

The #LagosAPCPrimaries means 1 of 2 things – either Sanwoolu is going to be completely loyal to Bourdillon and act only in favour of that interest or he has to fight early to establish his independence.
Smart money says it'll be the former

Lagos has the best set of journalists, pundits and intellectuals. Most educated Nigerians reside in Lagos. But an half baked accountant decides who leads them every four years. It was Ambode but the ATM stopped dispensing, now it's Sanwo-Olu. Smart Lagosians .#LagosAPCPrimaries

Ambode could probably look to the UMBRELLA party for succor. But just to ask, are they voting for Sanwolu because they know him or because Baba says this is the way. #LagosAPCPrimaries

If ambode takes the result I'm seeing home he will be disowned by his own kids #ayele #LagosAPCPrimaries

The biggest mistake PDP will make Jan fielding Ambode, he currently has no electoral value. #LagosAPCPrimaries

#LagosAPCPrimaries APC Just lost Lagos because of their lack of insight to see what Tinubu is planting in lagos and their lack foresight to see that Ambode is better for lagos… but what do I know am just one man

If I were to be Ambode, after this #LagosAPCPrimaries, I'm going to cross to the opposition party and cause some serious political disruption!

This Ambode situation reminds me of when Chelsea won the UCL and tried to defend it the next season

This Lagos drama.
My major concerns are the looting of the State’s treasury that MAY commence knowing fully well the present Administration will not be returning in 2019.
Also, the numerous ongoing projects around the State that MAY never be completed.#LagosAPCprimaries

Ambode is fighting a battle ALONE with more than 70,000 legions of Tinubu. How do you expect him to win? pic.twitter.com/7hx53RT0px
