THE 'Peter Obi-factor' has continued to play out in the results announced following Saturday's Presidential and National Assembly elections. 

For example, in Kaduna State, an okada rider won a seat in the House of Representatives, beating the 'popular' APC and PDP parties.

Similarly, in Lagos, a state where one could not have imagined a Labour Party candidate winning any elective seat. But with the Peter Obi factor at play, the Labour Party candidates from Lagos State have now positioned themselves in the Federal legislature with 3 House of Representatives seats. 

For Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency, LP's George Adegeye emerged victorious.

For Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, LP's Thaddeus Attah emerged victorious.

And for Oshodi-Isolo 2 Federal Constituency, LP's Okey Joe emerged victorious.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that in this current Assembly, the APC has 21 seats, while the PDP has three seats.
