President Muhammadu Buhari ‎has polled 1,226,181 votes at the end of the direct primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 312 wards in 27 Local Government Areas of Borno State.

The party's Chairman in the state, Ali Bukar Dalori, announced the figure on Sunday in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Buhari is the APC's sole presidential aspirant ‎seeking to contest on the party's platform in the 2019 general election. The party's NEC had adopted direct primaries for the presidential election, which held nationwide on Friday.

Speaking at a press briefing at the party's state headquarters in Maiduguri, Dalori told journalists that the elections held in Borno State, with members including Governor Kashim Shettima, taking part in wards.

He said officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) also observed the election in line with electoral laws.

Dalori said the election held peacefully, and stakeholders and members were mobilised to respective wards by the party with support from Governor Shettima, who is the party's leader in the state.

The Chairman thanked members for taking part in the election and urged them to prepare their voter cards to turn out higher votes for the president during the main election in February 2019. He also called on citizens ‎across parties to support Buhari's re-election bid.

He also said the state APC, led by Governor Shettima, is prepared to work towards ensuring an impressive number of votes for the President and all the candidates of the party during the 2019 election.

Boko haram votes. Why didn't they force their captives to vote as well for their grand patron? At least it would have gotten to 3million votes. A failure with no iota of shame.

PDP go be like,Omo se our head dey there sha

Delegations from the Missions of the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States observed the voting in the Osun State re-run election on September 27. We once again commend the vast majority of the voters in the state for exercising their democratic rights peacefully.

In contrast to our overall findings on the vote of September 22, we were concerned to witness widespread incidents of interference and intimidation of voters, journalists, and civil society observers by some political party supporters and security agencies. Many of our findings mirror those of leading civil society groups that observed the election.

We commend the work of INEC leadership during both elections. But it is clear that the neutrality of the security services and responsible conduct by party agents, both inside and outside polling units, will be essential to ensure free, fair, credible and peaceful elections in 2019.

We continue to call for calm from all stakeholders and urge that any challenges to the election result be made through peaceful and lawful means.

We restate our position of firm neutrality among all parties and candidates. We remain committed to supporting the Nigerian people in seeing free, fair, credible, and peaceful elections.
