President Bola Tinubu has emerged the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate after defeating Stanley Osifo
The president polled 10.99 million votes to defeat his only rival, who scored 16,504 in the APC presidential primaries held in 8,809 wards across the country.
This emerged from the ongoing national collation of the presidential primaries results at the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja.
APC governors in 31 states and other top brass of APC who are coordinators and collation officers in their states presented the results of the direct primaries to the presidential Primary Election Committee, chaired by former Senate President Pius Anyim.
While President Tinubu dominated all the 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, winning 100% votes in most of them, Osifo put up an impressive performance in a few states like Niger, where he scored 5,248, Kano-2,675, Lagos -1,186, Abia- 1,007, Oyo-929, Benue-779, and Nasarawa with 768 votes.
