Excerpts:

Gbadebo Rhode:

This is to remind Lagosians that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has not done anything about the continuous attack on his citizens unprovoked. From the EndSars protest to the elections yesterday, Lagos State is run by thugs and hooligans approved by the state government.
Eko dude!!!

Mr. Macaroni:

Despite all the violence and intimidation unleashed on Lagos, Peter Obi has won Lagos!!! The margin should be more!!! I just want the people to know that the power is in their hands!!!
They said no structure!!!

They said it is internet noise!!!

Lagosians!!!

David In Diaspora: I spoke to Peter Obi last night, and from what I could gather, he is in great spirits. Unlike previously when electoral malpractices and vote rigging were mere allegations. There is a surfeit of impeachable evidence this time around.

Dr. Jeffrey Diaspora based Obidient:

Sending love to all Obidients. This is a difficult time as we await the results of the presidential election in Nigeria. Please, Nigerians always be Obidient and devoted to a new and better Nigeria.

Northern @northerner

Wow,!!! He tried to be honest. I must commend him on that…. but it doesn’t matter since we got what we wanted.

Obidient Pa:

Have you forgotten it was something when Peter Obi won the Anambra State Governorship election, it was subverted but he regained his mandate in court. This is the will of Lagosians.

Oseni Rufai:

Obi overtakes Tinubu in Lagos.

Peter Okoye @peterpsquare:

I’m not Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa. I’m a Nigerian and NIGERIA must win

Rinu Oduala:

polling units versus collated results. INEC is trying Nigerians
