President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) roundly defeated his main contender, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the polling unit of the leader of APC in Delta State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor. In the early result that filtered in from unit 05, ward 08 in Enwreni, Ughelli North Local Government Area where Emerhor earlier voted around 11a.m, APC polled 278 votes to beat PDP with 13 votes.
Meanwhile, Atiku defeated Buhari at Ejeba unit, Agbarha-Otor, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, where he polled 80 votes against Buhari’s 74 votes.
Speaking earlier after voting, Emerhor, who was the governorship candidate of the party in 2015, expressed confidence that Buhari would win in Ughelli North and other parts of the state.
“Everybody is excited because we have the opportunity now to elect the President and National Assembly members of our choice,” he said.
