Lagos Guber 2023: List of LGAs Governor Sanwo-Olu Might Lose to LP's Rhodes-Vivour

• The battle for who becomes the governor of Lagos in the 2023 general elections is majorly between the APC and the LP, even if the PDP is not a push away in the race
• Some say that Sanwo-Olu, going by the results of the presidential election in the state, is on edge
• Those who believe this claim Rhodes-Vivour may win the same local government areas Peter Obi won during the Saturday, February 25, presidential poll

There are reasons to believe that the race for who will become the governor of Nigeria's former capital, Lagos, will be for two strong horses - Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress and the Labour Party's Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

That said, a section of political observers and commentators in the state favour the notion that Governor Sanwo-Olu will have a very hard time retaining his seat with a threatening possibility that he might lose to Rhodes-Vivour eventually.

This line of thinking stems from the performance of Peter Obi, the LP's candidate in the just-concluded presidential election, who was not just a force to reckon with but recorded victory in the state.

Those who believe the opposition party will repeat its victorious feat come Saturday, March 11, foresee Rhodes-Vivour claiming the same local government areas in the state Obi won.

1. Kosofe
2. Eti-Osa
3. Ojo
4. Amuwo-Odofin
5. Somolu

7. Ajeromi-Ifelodun
8. Alimosho
