Ebri had earlier declared the election null and void, saying the previously agreed upon method of casting a vote was secret balloting.
He had said the use of an open ballot voided the primaries, and plans to commence a new primary election was underway.
Ebri has, however, in a press conference on Wednesday, declared Sanwo-Olu the winner of the primaries, agreeing with the figures called by the Lagos State APC chairman Tunde Balogun: 970,851 to Akinwunmi Ambode‘s 72,901
