Popular singer, Daddy Showkey has endorsed the second term of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State.

The singer in a video that has since gone viral said Sanwo-Ol is "tried and tested".

Daddy Showkey said "this is our governor" as he pointed to him.

His endorsement of governor Sanwo-Olu comes days before the governorship election in the state.

The governor will seek the endorsement of Lagosian as he seeks a second term in office.

The elections will be a fight to the death following the victory of the Labour Party in the presidential elections.

For the first time in 24 years, a political party not affiliated or aligned with the former Lagos governor and presidential elect, Bola Tinubu has won the polls.

Peter Obi secured 582,454 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Bola Tinubu of the APC, who scored 572, 606 votes.

Atiku Abubakar of the PDP came third with 75,750 votes.

A total of 1,347,152 people were accredited for the election in Lagos, a state where Mr Tinubu has a lot of political control and influence.

Though Mr Tinubu’s APC won in the majority of the 20 local governments in Lagos (11), Mr Obi’s total votes were more, while he also won in the remaining nine local government areas.
