APC records massive win in Obasanjo’s ward

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has claimed victory at the governorship and state House of Assembly elections at former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s polling unit, Ward II Unit 22, Olusomi Compound in Totoro-Sokori area of Abeokuta.

The APC gubernatorial candidate polled 95 to defeat the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who garnered 4 votes and the Social Democratic Party, SDP, who had 11, while the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN had 8 votes.

In the House of Assembly race, APC polled 85 votes, PDP 8, while SDP scored 14 votes.

The former president, who addressed newsmen after his accreditation, commended Nigerians for their doggedness and never-say-die attitude by making the democratic process to thrive in the country.

Obasanjo, who was accredited in less than one minute and voted around 2.26pm, said Nigerians had done themselves proud.

According to him, “I think Nigerians should be proud of their performance in this election. There were apprehensions and, understandably so, because of those who were beating the drums of war.

“But God took control and people who expected a big bang did not even get a whimper. We should all be proud of ourselves. We have done it for ourselves; we have done it for Africa. I believe we are gradually maturing in our democratic process,” he said.
