2023 Elections: Tinubu wins 99.4% of votes in Buhari’s polling unit
Tinubu won the polling unit as expected.
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has cleared the polling unit of President Muhammadu Buhari with a near-flawless victory.
The president has faced numerous allegations that he’s not in full support of his party’s candidate. The 80-year-old publicly displayed his ballot paper to the media after he voted at his Sarkin Yara polling unit, in Daura, Katsina State, perhaps to silence the rumours.
Buhari can also now flaunt the result of his polling unit to solidify his relationship with Tinubu who scored 523 votes when officials announced the result hours after voting ended on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), whom Buhari beat in the 2019 election, scored three votes, and the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, scored zero.
