Benue presidential election results

Governor Samuel Ortom has commended the Benue people across party lines for the peaceful conduct of the February 25, 2023 Presidential and National Assembly ...

The Minister reminded the former President that organizing elections in Nigeria is not a mean feat, considering that the voter population of 93,469,008 in the country is 16,742,916 more than the total number of registered voters, at 76,726,092, in 14 West African nations put together. This is duplicitous,” he said. He also commended the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmoud Yakubu, for maintaining calm despite several personal attacks to him in the course of the conduct and ongoing collation of results from all over the country in the Presidential Election. He added that the antics of the former President will not work with President Buhari who is not an interventionist President and will not intervene. The former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s call to President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the electoral process by compelling the INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu to halt collation and announcement of the Presidential elections and call for outright cancellation of some of the already concluded elections has been generating reactions among notable Nigerians. The Independent National Electoral Commission has completed the collation of results from all 25 Local Government Areas of Delta state for the Saturday Presidential Election with Labour Party polling the highest votes of 341,866 and followed by the Peoples Democratic Party with a total of 161,600 and All Progressives Congress getting a total of 90,183 votes while the New Nigeria Peoples Party got 3,122 votes.
