2023: Tinubu wins APC presidential ticket
Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has emerged as the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at a special convention held in Eagle Square, Abuja.
Tinubu won the election by a landslide after beating the likes of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan.
Tinubu polled a total of 1,271 votes – more than four times the votes scored by his closet rival, Amaechi who had 316 votes.
Osinbajo, Lawan, and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State came behind the duo with 235, 152, and 47 votes respectively.
More than 2,300 delegates voted in the contest that produced Tinubu as the presidential flagbearer of the ruling party.
He is now billed to face the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and others in the February 25 presidential election
