Official Results: States Where Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi Have Won So Far

The leading contenders at the 2023 presidential election have started distinguishing themselves as official results have started trickling in.

From the results shared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in the lead with the number of votes.

Eight States of the federation have been officially announced by INEC namely, Katsina, Yobe, Gombe, Ogun, Lagos, Kwara, Osun and Ondo States.

And of the eight States, APC’s candidate has won in only three of them; Kwara, Ogun and Ondo while the PDP’s candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has taken four States.

As it stands, Atiku has won Katsina, Osun, Gombe and Yobe States, amassing the most number of States but APC still has the highest number of votes.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi pulled a fast one on Tinubu in Lagos State, to defeat the former Governor as the only State being held down by the Labour Party as announced by INEC so far.
