Atiku, Tinubu, Obi, In Tight Race As Run-off Looms by Bestmanfornow: 9:00am On Feb 28, 2023
•Tinubu polls 4.1m, Atiku 3m, Obi 1.6m in 14 states
•APC wins in Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, JIgawa

•PDP in Osun, Yobe, Gombe, Adamawa, Katsina

•LP in Lagos, Enugu, Nasarawa

The Presidential candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress; main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; and Labour Party, were locked in a tight race, last night as results of the February 25 elections trickled in yesterday.

So far, results from 14 states have been declared by the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who is the Chief Returning Officer for the presidential polls.

From the results, the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is leading, followed by PDP’s Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and Mr. Peter Obi of the LP.

According to the results as presented at the National Collation Centre in Abuja, Tinubu has 4,105,663, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has 3,052,625 votes, and Mr. Peter Obi has 1,643,069 votes.
Although, Tinubu is leading with 1.1 million votes, there were apprehension, last night that it might be difficult for any of the three candidates to get a simple majority and 25 per cent of the votes scored in at least two-thirds (24) of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja required to be declared winner outright.

Results from state collation centres show Tinubu to be leading in South-est even though he lost two of the six states; and making impact in some North-East, North-Central and North-West states and Rivers State.

Also, Atiku, who claimed a state in the South-West, made impact in Akwa Ibom and is doing well in Northern states.

In like manner, Obi, who won Lagos is strong in South-East, parts of South-South and North-Central and Abuja.

Section 134 of the Constitution provides as follows:

(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election –

(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

(2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election-

Where will he see the deficit to cover the 14 Northern states he preformed badly in?

He has over 2 million deficit in the North against Obi as it is!

Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Niger, Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Zamfara, kastina, Kaduna, Niger, Bauchi, Kebbi and Kwara

TINUBU Bested obi by a lot here to the tune of nearly 3 million

He only bested Tinubu in Plateau, Taraba and Abuja and Nasrawa to the tune of 500k

Tinubu Bested obi in the South West to the tune of 900k

He could only do 400 to 500k to Tinubu in the South

So he must somehow best Tinubu with about 3 million in the remaining South East elections.

Why is Vanguard news toying with this people's emotions?

Lagos : Tinubu 400k votes advantage over Atiku.
Kano : Tinubu 500k votes advantage over Atiku.

He has the required 25% spread in states unexpected of him to like Akwa Ibom, Edo, Cross River. cheesy

Almost all the state in West, Northeast, and some state in Northwest, only Enugu has been mentioned in the east, that's why they are manipulating results in Obi strongholds to favour Tinubu, from South-South, South-East and North-Central, day light robbery imagine INEC Chairman in Imo absconded with the results, same manipulation is going on in Ebonyi Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Plateau and Benue. Una wan burn down this country

Vanguard is a typical piiggiidiotic news platform that doesn't want to wake to realities on ground.

All the parties have a fair idea of the final results. That's why some are already agitating while APC is calm.

There is going to be NO run-off anywhere!

Tinubu has won this to the glory if God cool
