President Muhammadu Buhari has defeated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party at his polling unit.
Wild jubilation broke out following the announcement that Mr Buhari scored 186 votes to defeat Mr Abubakar.
The result:
APC – 187
PDP – 167.
Mr Abubakar’s loyalists were quick to play up the figure as a remarkable
showing for their candidate, despite its closeness, saying the unit has
been historically won by Mr Buhari, who has stood in every presidential
election since 2003.
The results from Mr Abubakar’s polling unit are amongst some of the
early returns trickling in from across the country in today’s
presidential and federal parliamentary elections.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how Mr Buhari overwhelmingly won his polling unit in Daura, Katsina State.
