Babajide Sanwo-Olu made this statement while speaking on Arise TV today March 8.
He added that internal rancor in APC which was not settled before going into the election also affected their performance in Lagos.
“It is beyond Lagos. But for us, we have been able to identify and look critically at what went wrong,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said. “The Muslim-Muslim ticket played a role. Because Lagos is also a centre of a lot of Christian population and the rest.
Speaking further he said, “The other reasons are, some said from their ethnic nationality this was the first time they are having their son on the ballot. It is good, it is not good, na my pikin. I’m going to go ahead. We cannot force anybody.
“The third is that we ourselves have our internal wrangling, issues that were not fully resolved before we went into the election,” Mr Sanwo-Olu added.
