In a stunning upset in Nigeria’s presidential race, the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, has emerged victorious in the election at the polling unit of former Governor Jonah Jang.
The former governor, who is a chieftain of the PDP, cast his vote at the Rabin Du polling unit in Du “A” ward, Jos South Local Government Area of the state, and called on the people to vote for the candidate of their choice.
However, it was Peter Obi who scored a resounding victory with 239 votes, leaving Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, far behind with just 29 votes. The ruling party’s candidate, Bola Tinubu, only managed to secure one vote.
This outcome could have significant implications for the presidential race in Nigeria, as Peter Obi’s win in Jonah Jang’s polling unit could give him a much-needed boost in the wider election.
The fact that he defeated both the PDP and the ruling party’s candidates in this key area is likely to generate a lot of attention and excitement among his supporters. On the other hand, this result will be a disappointment for both the PDP and the APC, who were hoping to gain an edge in the election.
The significance of Jonah Jang’s support for the PDP cannot be overstated. Jang is a highly respected figure in Plateau State and has a lot of influence in the PDP. His endorsement of Atiku Abubakar was seen as a major boost for the PDP’s campaign in the state. However, Peter Obi’s victory in Jang’s polling unit suggests that there may be a shift in support among PDP voters in Plateau State.
It is important to note that the election at Jang’s polling unit is just one of many in the presidential race in Nigeria. However, it is a significant development that could have far-reaching implications for the final outcome. It remains to be seen whether Obi can capitalize on this win and maintain his momentum in the wider election, but this result is certainly a positive sign for his campaign.
The Nigerian presidential race has been hotly contested, with multiple candidates vying for the top job. The election is seen as a critical test for Nigeria’s democracy, with many hoping for a peaceful and fair process.
The outcome of the election will have significant implications for Nigeria’s future, as the new president will face a wide range of challenges, including insecurity, corruption, and economic instability. All eyes will be on Nigeria in the coming days as the results of the election continue to unfold.
