Atiku wins Adamawa
Atiku Abubakar, has also won his home state of Adamawa in the presidential election held last Saturday.
He polled 412, 266 to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari who scored 377,488.
Mr Buhari, however, won 11 of the state’s 21 local government areas, while Mr Abubakar picked the remaining 10. The results show a difference of 34,778 between them.
Although Mr Abubakar was tipped to narrowly win the state in the lead up to the February 23 election, fears that he may not clinch it gripped his supporters after he lost his polling unit to Mr Buhari on election day.
Analysis of the results shows Mr Abubakar scored heavily in Christian dominated areas of the state, while Mr Buhari did well amongst both Muslim and Christian voters.
