2023 Election: Obi takes Edo State with 12 LGs, Tinubu with 6
In a resounding victory, Peter Obi, the candidate for the Labour Party, has won the February 25th presidential election in Edo State with a wide margin. The results show that Obi won in 12 of the state's local governments, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) won in the remaining six, leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) without a single local government win.

The announcement of the results was made by the Edo State Collation Officer, Vice Chancellor of the University of Uyo, Professor Nyaudoh Ndaeyo. According to Professor Ndaeyo, Peter Obi secured a total of 331,163 votes to clinch the presidential election victory in the state.

Obi's victory in Edo State is significant for a number of reasons. Firstly, it represents a major political win for the Labour Party, which has traditionally been seen as a minor political party in Nigeria. Secondly, it highlights the importance of effective campaigning and grassroots mobilization in local communities. Obi's ability to build strong support at the local level was a key factor in his victory in the state.

The outcome of the election also highlights the growing trend of multi-party democracy in Nigeria. With the Labour Party, APC, and PDP all securing significant votes in the state, it is clear that Nigerian voters are becoming increasingly politically aware and are no longer restricted to voting for just one political party.
