Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, appears to have dusted 11 other aspirants in to win the presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt Rivers State, Sunday.
Based on votes already announced, it seems Mr. Abubakar will square it up with Muhammadu Buhari, who was on Saturday night ratified as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2019 polls.
The result of the PDP primary monitored by the NEXT EDITION showed as follows:
Datti Ahmed – 5 votes
Jonah Jang – 19
David Mark – 35
Taminu Turaki – 65
Sule Lamido – 96
Bafarawa – 98
Dankwambo – 111
Markafi – 74
Kwakwanso – 158
Saraki – 317
Tambuwal – 693
The total number of accredited delegates from the 36 states and FCT is said to 3,274.
Akwa Ibom Stater has the largest number of delegates with 153, while Ogun has the least with only 21.
The leadership of the leading opposition party will soon announce the result of the primary which observers said was characterized with vote buying.
