Announcing the results in Abakaliki, Governor Francis Nwifuru—who acted as the State Collation Officer—revealed that out of the party’s 215,490 total members in Ebonyi, 207,579 turned out for accreditation and voting. He praised the exercise as transparent, peaceful, and an authentic reflection of the people’s will. Breakdown of the landslide shows Tinubu netting major numbers including 25,453 in Ezza North, 19,341 in Ikwo, and 17,501 in Izzi.
Reacting to the massive turnout at his Umunaga Ward in Uburu, Minister of Works David Umahi declared that Ebonyi is strictly an APC stronghold with zero opposition presence.
Umahi dropped a major talking point by asserting that President Tinubu’s administration has finally integrated the South-East into mainstream national governance through critical infrastructure and top-tier appointments.
“Bola Tinubu is the Biafra we have been looking for,” Umahi stated boldly. “I laugh when people talk about the hardship caused by the reforms. Nobody has been able to say where Nigeria would have been without them.” He expressed absolute confidence that Tinubu’s reform agenda would completely crush Nigeria’s security challenges within the next five years if handed a second term in 2027.

President Bola Tinubu on Saturday recorded a comprehensive victory in the Ebonyi State APC presidential primary election, claiming all 207,579 valid votes. His opponent, Stanley Osifo, finished the exercise with zero votes across the state’s 13 local government areas.
Governor Francis Nwifuru, serving as the State Collation Officer, certified the data in Abakaliki. He noted that 207,579 accredited members participated out of a total state registration of 215,490. Nwifuru commended the party faithful for maintaining orderliness and transparency throughout the 171 wards. Significant vote pools for the President came from Ezza North (25,453), Ikwo (19,341), and Ishielu (19,160).
Speaking from Ohaozara Local Government Area, the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, stated that the outcome reinforces Ebonyi’s position as an undivided APC state.
Umahi argued that the Tinubu administration has demonstrated a strong commitment to the South-East region through key federal appointments and infrastructure development. Defending the federal government’s current economic policies, Umahi remarked that the reforms were necessary to prevent a worse national crisis and predicted significant improvements in national security over the next five years under the President’s leadership.
