Former Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, beat the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in the All Progressives Congress primary election.
Osinbajo recorded 235 votes while Amaechi got 316.
Osinbajo had slugged it out with many contestants, although a good number of them withdrew from the race along the line.
He contested with his former mentor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, with some people saying it was a sign of ingratitude.
Osinbajo was rumoured to be President Muhammadu Buhari’s candidate although the President never confirmed that.
Buhari, indeed, told the party that all he wanted was a level-playing ground.
Meanwhile results for some other candidates are out: Ahmed Yerima: 4
Tunde Bakare: 0
Rochas Okorocha: 0
Yahaya Bello: 47
Emeka Nwajiuba: 1
