Breaking! #NigeriaDecides: Tinubu In Early Lead S/West, Northwest, North-Central, Obi S/East
Confidence and excitement bubbled in the camp of the All Progressives Congress (APC) last night as results of the presidential and National Assembly elections began to trickle into public domain and the collation centres of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nationwide.
Early returns from polling units in the six South West states of Lagos, Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo showed that the APC presidential candidate was ahead of the pack while Labour Party’s Peter Obi was dominant in the South East.
Obi also made some inroads in Lagos State and former strongholds of the PDP in Edo and Delta.
At press time yesterday, the Labour Party presidential candidate had also won nine of the 13 polling units at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
But his performance in the North was abysmal where the APC and the PDP were sharing the votes in the three geo-political zones in the North. The APC was doing well in Yobe and Sokoto State at press time.
Some of the results yet to be confirmed by INEC are as follows:
Lagos State;
Ajeromi/Ifelodun LGA
APC – 21,102
LP – 12,417
PDP – 3,750
Amuwo-Odofin LGA
