A further analysis reveals that if the LP sustains its current momentum, it may further dampen the chances of the PDP winning the presidential election in subsequent elections.
Dataphyte was the first to give a detailed prediction of a clear win for Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the first round of elections, without a tie and a need for a run-off election.
…Only three out of 10 people turned out to vote.
The February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections threw up major upsets that will be studied in institutions of higher learning in years to come.
Compared to the voter turnout of 34.74 percent in the 2019 general election, the turnout in the just concluded election declined by 8.03 per cent.
Tinubu won states such as Benue, Ekiti, Rivers, Borno, Jigawa, Zamfara, Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Ondo, Oyo and Ogun states.
Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) got 4,772 (1.02 percent) votes in the state, while the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) contestant, Rabiu Kwankwaso, polled 1,803 votes.
This is the second time a sitting governor in the state has lost his bid to pick the senatorial seat in the state.
Trailing Tinubu is the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who got 75,750 votes. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Adewole Adebayo of Social Democratic Party (SDP) garnered 8,442 and 772 votes, respectively.
Reports and field evidence seen by Dataphyte show that in different locations, INEC officials were reportedly attacked by suspected thugs.
There have been widespread late arrival of INEC materials and observers across different polling units in the country, a development that has marred the process.
INEC has failed to live up to its promise of uploading results on its paortal, fuelling suspicion of election rigging, which the new technology was mwant to fix.
Abubakar scored 354,366 votes to win in 20 local government areas, defeating Tinubu of the APC, who scored 343,945 votes and claimed victory in 10 local governments.
However, reports from some parts of the country indicated that INEC officials in some polling units in Lagos, Imo, and Delta states refused to snap the result sheets and consequently failed to upload them as required.
