Tinubu Secures Clean Sweep in Mafa Ward APC Primary
President Bola Tinubu recorded a unanimous victory in Mafa Ward, Borno State, during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The direct primary took place at Mafa Central Primary School and was overseen by Hajiya Inna Alkali Imam, Chairperson of the Presidential Primary Election Committee.
Tinubu polled 2,175 votes, which accounted for every valid vote cast in the ward. His opponent, Stanley Osifo — a businessman and APC chieftain from Edo State — received zero votes.
Mafa Ward has 2,277 registered APC members, of whom 2,175 were accredited to participate in the exercise.
Governor Babagana Zulum, serving as the Coordinator and Collation Officer for the presidential primary in Borno State, was present to witness and take part in the voting.
“I am from Mafa Ward, and that is why I am here to witness and participate in the exercise. We have two candidates, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Mr Stanley Osifo,” Zulum said.
The governor, who also cast his vote, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the primary and the turnout of party members.
“So far so good, we have conducted the presidential primary election for Mafa ward, and I am very impressed with the turnout. We have a total of about 2,277 registered party members in Mafa ward, out of which 2,175 were accredited for the voting, and all of them voted for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while the other candidate scored zero,” Zulum added.
The APC presidential primary continues across the country, with final results expected to be announced by the party at a later date.
