Tough Battle For Atiku As Obi Wins Big In Adamawa Ward

Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, took the battle for the presidency to the home of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rival, Atiku Abubakar defeating him with 62% of the votes at Muchalla Ward, Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

GWG.ng reports that Atiku’s PDP controls Adamawa State and the presidential candidate is a major economic and political enabler in the state.

Adamawa is also the home state of First Lady Aisha Buhari who is unarguably the most enthusiastic supporter of the Tinubu presidential aspiration within the First Family and the presidential villa.

Adamawa, however, has a significant proportion of minorities and Christians who have flooded the Obidient movement.

According to results released from the collation centre of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Mubi LGA, Adamawa State Obi polled a total of 4,524 votes while Atiku followed with 1,864 and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled 340 votes while Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) trailed with 31 votes.

Below is the result:

APC 340

LP 4524

NNPP 31

PDP 1864

Total voters registered 16350

Total voters accredited 7020

Total voters cast 6995

Total valid 6826

Total rejected 169

The victory of Obi over Atiku in the Adamawa ward could prove devastating for Atiku if he is not able able to reverse the momentum elsewhere.
