At the conclusion of a long-drawn contest, Tinubu garnered 1,271 votes, beating the immediate past Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Amaechi beat Osinbajo to the third, having scored 316 votes, against the Vice President’s 235 votes.

Other contestants in the primary election were Mr Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Mr Ahmed Rufai, Senator Rochas Okorocha, Mr Jack Rich, Governor Ben Ayade, Governor David Umahi, Senator Ahmed Yarima, Dr Ahmed Lawan, Osinbajo, Amaechi, Governor Yahaya Bello and Dr Ogbonnaya Onu.

As the voting time neared, nine other contestants stepped down, with eight of them asking their supporters to vote for Tinubu, while one supported Osinbajo.

Those who supported Tinubu were Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa, Robert Boroffice, Ken Nnamani, Ibikunle Amosun, Dimeji Bankole, Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi and Godswill Akpabio.

They asked their supporters to vote for Tinubu, just as the only female aspirant, Mrs Uju Ken-Ohanenye,

Political pundits had said that Tinubu is the only one among the 23 candidates in APC who will be able to face 75-year-old Atiku Abubakar, who last week emerged as the flagbearer of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

The presidential election has been slated for February 25 next year.
