Tinubu Sweeps Zulum’s Ward With 100% Votes in APC Presidential Primary

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu secured a sweeping victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election held in Mafa Ward of Borno State, polling all valid votes cast in the exercise conducted in the home ward of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum.

The direct primary election took place at Mafa Central Primary School under the supervision of the Chairperson of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Hajiya Inna Alkali Imam.

Results announced at the ward level showed that Tinubu garnered 2,175 votes, representing 100 per cent of the valid votes cast. Out of the 2,277 registered APC members in the ward, 2,175 were accredited and participated in the exercise.

Tinubu’s only challenger, Stanley Osifo, an APC chieftain and businessman from Edo State, failed to secure any vote in the ward.

Governor Zulum, who served as the Coordinator and Collation Officer for the presidential primary in the state, said he participated in the exercise as an indigene of Mafa Ward.

“I am from Mafa Ward, and that is why I am here to witness and participate in the exercise. We have two candidates, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Mr Stanley Osifo,” the governor stated.

Zulum also commended the peaceful conduct of the exercise and the impressive turnout of party members.

“So far so good, we have conducted the presidential primary election for Mafa Ward, and I am very impressed with the turnout. We have a total of about 2,277 registered party members in Mafa Ward, out of which 2,175 were accredited for the voting, and all of them voted for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while the other candidate scored zero,” he said.

The APC presidential primary is currently ongoing in several states across the country, with the party expected to collate and announce the final nationwide results later.
