President Bola Tinubu wins the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary with 10,999,967 votes, defeating his only challenger, businessman Stanley Osifo. Multiple reports say Osifo polls 16,504 votes across 37 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), while Tinubu secures the overwhelming majority of votes. Coverage also notes that Osifo receives little or no support in several states, with some states reported as returning near-total backing for Tinubu.
State-level results reported by The Punch show Tinubu sweeping multiple regions: he records 131,096 votes in Edo, 280,082 in Rivers, 207,579 in Ebonyi, 321,579 in Zamfara, 407,646 in Delta, and 277,192 in Bayelsa. The same outlet also reports landslide wins in Jigawa, Ogun and Imo. Overall, the accounts describe a nationwide direct primary marked by Tinubu’s dominant performance across states and the FCT, resulting in his selection as the APC presidential flag bearer.
