Breaking: Peter Obi beats Tinubu, Atiku in Nasarawa
The Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been declared the winner of Saturday's presidential elections in Nasarawa State by the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) collation officer in Nasarawa State, Prof. Ishaya Tanko. Prof. Tanko reported that Mr. Obi led with a total vote of 191,361 to be ahead of his nearest rival who is Mr. Ahmed Bola-Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who got 172,922 votes while Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) garnered 147, 093 votes. 

The Vice-Chancellor University of Jos revealed that a total number of 2,552,716 registered voters had cast their votes and out of 562,464 votes accredited 540,566 votes were valid. 16,371 ballots were rejected as stated by the Collation Officer for this election process. The National Natures People Party (NNPP) Presidential candidate was granted 12,715 by the citizens from Nasarawa State as well during this election phase according to Prof. Ishaya Tanko’s report on it. 

This marks yet another success for Peter Obi who managed to exceed his closest opponents by more than 18 thousand votes proving the clear preference for him among voters from this state. His landslide victory marks one major step leading up to May 28 when Nigeria will announce its appointed President following these general elections.  

Therefore, Peter Obi’s electoral triumph in Nasarawa State shall be counted and added among other significant successes he achieved throughout his campaign as well as his previous career in politics with some being highlighted over time including turning Anambra state into one of Nigerian’s most financial stable states during his tenure below 2005 and 2006 when he was governor there.
