Peter Obi polled 582,454 chooses to trounce the former Lagos State governor, who goalled 572,606 chooses, PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, who got 75,750 and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who polled 8,442.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, Jandor revealed the 2023 election came with peculiar dynamics and a tsunami that nobody ever expected, and it was there for everybody to see.
According to Jandor, after Peter Obi prevailed over the February 2023 presidential election in Lagos, the dynamics reformed against the PDP for the governorship poll conducted one month later.
He revealed, “The 2023 election came with this Tsunami that nobody ever expected and it was there for everybody to see.
“Before the February 25th general election, we were on the streets of Lagos and the governing party was nowhere to be found. We had several divulges and he (Sanwo-Olu) didn’t show up and he did announce he didn’t want to share a stage with me.
“The 2023 election came with its dynamics, and it was a two-horse race until the presidential election. If you look at what happened in the presidential election, Peter Obi came first (in Lagos), Asiwaju came second, and Atiku came third.
“The moment that happened, there was this belief that if we do this, we can get this state off XYZ. So, we were victims of that.
“Each time I address my people, I inform them: look, we did everything but that wave came and swallowed the whole thing; nobody saw that coming.”
“If not for the Peter Obi effect, I probably would have conquered the election at the governorship level.”
