President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has recorded a landslide victory in Mafa Ward of Borno State, the home ward of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, after polling all valid votes cast during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The direct primary election took place at Mafa Central Primary School and was supervised by the Chairperson of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Hajiya Inna Alkali Imam.
According to the results announced at the ward level, Tinubu secured 2,175 votes, representing 100 percent of all valid votes cast during the exercise. Mafa Ward has a total of 2,277 registered APC members, with 2,175 accredited voters participating in the primary.
Tinubu’s only challenger, Stanley Osifo, a businessman and APC chieftain from Edo State, failed to secure any vote in the ward.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, who participated in the exercise as both a voter and the state Coordinator and Collation Officer for the presidential primary election, said he was present in Mafa Ward to witness the process firsthand.
“I am from Mafa Ward, and that is why I am here to witness and participate in the exercise. We have two candidates, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Mr Stanley Osifo,” Zulum said.
The governor expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise, describing the turnout of party members as impressive.
“So far so good, we have conducted the presidential primary election for Mafa Ward, and I am very impressed with the turnout. We have a total of about 2,277 registered party members in Mafa Ward, out of which 2,175 were accredited for the voting, and all of them voted for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while the other candidate scored zero,” he stated.
The APC presidential primary is ongoing across various states of the federation, with final nationwide results expected to be announced later.
