For those who want know the results of the June 12 1993 Election. Below is how Nigerians voted. Menu Nigerian History Channel The Home of Nigerian History and Contemporary Affairs Advertisements Report this ad JUNE 12, 1993 ELECTION: FULL RESULTS 10 Votes Since the 15th anniversary of the landmark June 12, 1993 election just passed, I thought it was an opportune time to publish the full results of the election. On June 15, 1993 the National Electoral Commission (NEC) released the results from 14 states (including the Federal Capital Territory). The following day (June 16, 1993) the Abuja High Court ordered that further announcement of the results should be suspended. Here are the full results of the election: STATE NUMBER OF NRC VOTES PERCENTAGE OF VOTES FOR NRC NUMBER OF SDP VOTES PERCENTAGE OF VOTES FOR SDP TOTAL VOTES WINNER Abuja (FCT)* 18,313 47.84 19,968 52.16 256,500 ABIOLA Abia* 151,227 58.96 105,273 41.04 334,490 TOFA Adamawa 167,239 54.28 140,875 45.72 414,129 TOFA Akwa Ibom* 199,342 48.14 214,787 51.86 371,288 ABIOLA Anambra* 159,258 42.89 212,024 57.11 847,274 ABIOLA Bauchi 524,836 60.73 339,339 39.27 406,132 TOFA Benue 186,302 43.06 246,830 56.94 282,180 ABIOLA Borno* 128,684 45.60 153,496 54.40 342,755 ABIOLA Cross River 153,452 44.77 189,303 55.23 472,278 ABIOLA Delta 145,001 30.70 327,277 69.30 308,979 ABIOLA Edo* 103,572 33.52 205,407 66.48 427,190 ABIOLA Enugu 284,050 51.91 263,101 48.09 349,902 TOFA Imo 195,836 55.14 159,350 44.86 228,388 TOFA Jigawa 89,836 39.33 138,552 60.67 726,573 ABIOLA Kaduna* 356,860 47.80 389,713 52.20 324,428 ABIOLA Kano* 154,809 47.72 169,619 52.28 442,176 ABIOLA Katsina 271,077 61.30 171,162 38.70 286,974 TOFA Kebbi 144,808 67.34 70,219 32.66 488,492 TOFA Kogi* 265,732 54.40 222,760 45.60 352,479 TOFA Kwara 80,209 22.78 272,270 77.24 1,033,397 ABIOLA Lagos 149,432 14.46 883,865 85.54 357,787 ABIOLA Niger* 221,437 61.90 136,350 38.10 484,971 TOFA Ogun* 59,246 12.22 425,725 87.78 964,018 ABIOLA Ondo 162,994 15.58 883,024 84.42 437,334 ABIOLA Osun 72,068 16.48 365,266 83.52 641,799 ABIOLA Oyo* 105,788 16.48 536,011 83.52 676,959 ABIOLA Plateau* 259,394 38.32 417,565 61.68 1,026,824 ABIOLA Rivers 640,973 63.37 370,578 36.63 469,986 TOFA Sokoto 372,250 79.21 97,726 20.79 469,986 TOFA Taraba 64,001 38.58 101,887 61.42 176,054 ABIOLA Yobe 64,061 38.41 11,887 63.59 38,281 ABIOLA *States in which results were released. The results were released in 14 states only. Vote Breakdown and Analysis Voter turnout was higher in the south than in the north. The Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Moshood Abiola received over 8 million votes, and won in 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The National Republican Convention (NRC) candidate Alhaji Bashir Tofa received over 6 million votes and won in 10 states only. Over 14 million people voted. Abiola won in Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba, and Yobe states, and the Federal Capital Territory. Tofa won in Abia, Adamawa, Bauchi, Enugu, Imo, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Rivers and Sokoto States. Abiola’s victory was comprehensive as he won almost 60% of the total votes cast. Only in two states (Kebbi and Sokoto) did Abiola fail to obtain at least one-third of the votes. Abiola even defeated Tofa in Tofa’s home state of Kano. Voting Patterns Although the voting pattern has subsequently been cast as unprecedented in cutting across ethnic, religious and geographic patterns, the true picture is a little more subtle. It is true that Christians voted for Muslim candidates. However Christians had little choice in the matter as the Presidential candidates of both parties were Muslim. The SDP was led by two Muslims: Abiola, and his Muslim vice-presidential candidate Babagana Kingibe. The NRC was also led by a Muslim candidate: Alhaji Bashir Tofa. Although Tofa’s running mate was Christian, both Tofa and Kingibe were Kanuri Muslims. Hence the concept of Christians voting for Muslims was an in-built certainty as any vote necessarily had to be for a Muslim since both presidential candidates were Muslim. Additionally, voting patterns in the south-west were solidly ethnic as the overwhelming majority of votes cast were for Abiola. In the south-west mainly Yoruba states of Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo, Abiola scored crushing victories, and received over 80% of the votes in each of those states. He also received over 85% of the votes in Lagos state. What’s the source? Max Siollun on October 14, 2015 at 12:33 National Electoral Commission.
