President Bola Tinubu has secured an overwhelming victory over his sole challenger, Stanley Osifo, in the All Progressives Congress presidential primary, as party structures across the country delivered endorsements for his second-term bid.
The President, who is expected to fly the APC flag in the 2027 general elections, swept across wards and states in a process dominated by endorsements from party organs, governors, and grassroots delegates.
Sunday PUNCH observed that the exercise, conducted across 8,809 wards nationwide, effectively turned into an affirmation of Tinubu’s candidacy, with Osifo recording negligible support.
Although APC organs, including the National Executive Committee, the National Working Committee, the Progressive Governors Forum, and state structures had earlier endorsed Tinubu, the party proceeded with a direct primary to formally ratify its candidate.
As the ruling party consolidated around Tinubu, the opposition African Democratic Congress is still battling internal divisions over its presidential ticket.
