Osinbajo delivers Ikenne for Buhari

At Prof Osinbajo’s polling unit in Lagos, the APC party agent explained to journalists that his party were overwhelming favourite to win but that some of the electorate were not happy with the anti-corruption fight of the government.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo delivered some major votes for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the presidential election which held on February 23, 2019.

In Ikenne where he hails from, the ruling APC garnered 10, 184 votes with the main contender, Atiku Abubakar and his party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) getting 8,509 votes.

At Prof Osinbajo’s polling unit in Lagos, the APC party agent explained to journalists that his party were overwhelming favourite to win but that some of the electorate were not happy with the anti-corruption fight of the government.

“Some of the persons living in these highbrow areas aren’t too happy with the anti-corruption fight of the federal government and some had even shared their grievances with me this morning,” he told journalists off the record on the day of the election.

He explained that privileges should not be reserved for the elites alone but for all Nigerians which is what the APC government is trying to entrench.

“The new Nigeria places more emphasis on the middle and low class, we cannot continue to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Hopefully everyone will key into this mentality and drive the country to the Next Level." he said. 

The Christian leaders across the country had met with Prof Osinbajo who is seeking reelection alongside President Muhammadu Buhari before and during the campaign train.

In Christian communities across the North, South South, South East and South West of Nigeria, APC also garnered big results almost ensuring the reelection bid of his party.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC will address Nigerians and give updates on the election. A winner is expected to be announced by Monday but the APC are favourites given results that have been shared by party agents.

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court.
