President Bola Tinubu has defeated Stanley Osifo in the All Progressives Congress(APC) presidential primaries to clinch the party’s ticket for the 2027 general election.

Tinubu polled 10.99 million votes to defeat his only rival who scored 16,504 in 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 govenrors 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 impressive performance in 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.
