The 2023 presidential election of February 25 have now been officially concluded, with Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) emerging the winner having scored the highest total votes cast in the poll.

In a keenly-contested poll, the three leading candidates; Peter Obi of Labour Party, Bola Tinubu (APC) and PDP’s Abubakar Atiku all had 12 States each while Rabiu Kwankwaso of NNPP had 1 spoil to his bag.

Breakdown of each State won by the candidates below:

Bola Tinubu (APC): Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Rivers, Niger, Kogi, Benue, Kwara, Borno, Jigawa and Zamfara

Abubakar Atiku (PDP): Osun, Gombe, Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi and Katsina.

Peter Obi (LP): Lagos, Abia, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo, Plateau, Nasarawa, Delta, Edo, Cross River and FCT

Rabiu Kwankwaso (NNPP): Kano2023 Presidential Election Tally: APC 12 States, LP 12, PDP 12, NNPP 1

Tinubu, 70, came out tops in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states, and secured significant numbers in several other states to claim the highest number of votes — 8,794,726, almost two million votes more than his closest rival — former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Abubakar, 76, who has now run for president six times, got 6,984,520 votes, while the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, who, in less than a year, galvanised young voters in a manner some have described as unprecedented finished the race with 6,101,533.
