Tinubu's 11M Votes Show Political Dominance in APC Primary
President Bola Tinubu secured overwhelming victory in APC presidential primary with over 11 million votes against challenger Stanley Osifo's 1,000+ votes, demonstrating what veteran journalist Reuben Abati calls "the owner of the game." Speaking on Arise TV Monday, Abati noted this creates a "demonstration effect" for opposition parties ahead of 2027 elections. However, he raised questions about vote counting legitimacy, saying "basic arithmetic was a problem" during some primaries. The process faced protests over consensus and direct primaries in several states. With INEC's total voters register unclear, opposition candidates now face the challenge of securing more votes than Tinubu's already massive party endorsement. How should opposition parties strategize against this political dominance in the upcoming general elections?
