The All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has won the presidential election in Rivers State in a keenly contested poll.
The APC candidate won the election with overwhelming votes from Governor Nyesom Wike’s constituency, Obio/Akpor Local Government (LGA) Area as collation is concluded for the presidential election in the state.
According to the overall results announced on Tuesday evening by the State Collation Officer, Professor Teddy Adias, after collation from all 23 Rivers LGAs, APC polled 231,591 votes, 56,520 more than the votes for second-placed LP candidate, Peter Obi, who polled 175,071 votes.
Also, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, came third with 88,468 votes, with the result laying credence to claims that Governor Wike was working for the APC’s win in Rivers.

Tinubu who was trailing Obi with over 20,000 votes at the announcement of 21 LGAs secured the overall gap ahead of Obi after the results of Obio/Akpor LGA alone gave the APC candidate 80,239 votes, the highest from the LGAs in Rivers against Obi’s paltry 3,829 votes in that constituency.
In the spread of results, the APC won in 15 LGAs, LP in 5 and the PDP in three LGAs.
