 President Tinubu Polls 277,192 Votes In APC Presidential Primaries in Bayelsa State.


President Bola Tinubu  polled 277,192 votes in the direct primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 105 wards in the eight local government areas of Baylesa state.


Governor Douye Diri, who served as the state’s Coordinator/Collation Officer for the presidential primary, declared the results at the collation centre at the Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha Memorial Banquet Hall, Yenagoa.


The governor's Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, quoted Governor Diri as saying that the peaceful conduct of the exercise across the state, from the presidential to the National Assembly and the House of Assembly primaries, showed a shift from the party’s “toxic” primaries previously in the state.


He stressed that no single individual could win an election without collective support, urging members to close ranks ahead of the 2027 general election.


The state governor stated that with the party’s unity and the strength of incumbency at both the state and federal levels, APC was well-positioned to dominate the elections.


Giving a breakdown of the results presented by the returning officers in each of the local government areas, he said Tinubu scored 39,454 in Brass, Ekeremor 45,949, 

Kolokuma/Opokuma 22,593, and 

Nembe 32,487.


The president also got 24,896 in Ogbia, Sagbama 46,283

Southern Ijaw 34,692 and 

Yenagoa 30,834.


His only challenger, Mr. Stanley Osifo, got only five votes from Yenagoa local government area.
