In a surprising turn of events, Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, has emerged as the winner in nine polling units within and around the Presidential Villa in Abuja. According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Obi swept all the polling units, leaving his competitors trailing behind.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, came in second place, while former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came in third.
The polling units, located in the heart of the nation’s capital, are known to be a stronghold of the APC, making Obi’s victory all the more remarkable. The results have caused a stir among political analysts and observers, who are now speculating about the potential impact of Obi’s victory on the overall outcome of the presidential election.
Obi, who served as the Governor of Anambra State from 2006 to 2014, has been touted as a formidable contender in the race for the presidency. His victory in these key polling units is likely to boost his campaign and bolster his chances of winning the election.
As the election continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the results from other polling units across the country will impact the overall outcome of the presidential race. Nonetheless, Obi’s victory in the Presidential Villa polling units has certainly set the stage for an intriguing contest in the weeks to come.
