President Bola Tinubu has emerged victorious in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election in Osun State, securing 100,880 votes.
The result of the exercise, conducted on Saturday, was announced by the APC Coordinator and Returning Officer for the presidential primary in the state, Mr Gboyega Oyetola.
Oyetola, who is the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, said Tinubu defeated his opponent, Mr Stanley Osifo, who scored zero votes.
According to him, 100,880 accredited party members participated in the election out of the 109,806 digitally registered APC members in the state.
“By the powers vested in me as the Collation Officer for Osun, I hereby declare His Excellency, Bola Tinubu, as the winner of the APC Presidential Primary Election in Osun State,” he declared.
He noted that the exercise had once again demonstrated that the APC remains a party firmly rooted in democratic values, internal cohesion, transparency and progressive governance.
Oyetola explained that the peaceful conduct witnessed across the 30 local government areas of Osun State, including the Ife East Area Office, was a testament to the enduring strength and unity of the APC.
The minister urged party members to remain united and committed to the party’s collective goals, charging them to work towards another electoral victory beginning with the Osun governorship election scheduled for August 15.
