Ahmad Lawan, the current president of the Senate and a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), hails from Yobe and was elected to represent the state’s northern senatorial district. Nevertheless, he was unable to deliver the state to his party’s presidential candidate.
As expected, the sitting governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke may be praised for delivering his state for his party PDP as Atiku beat Tinubu by a close margin. See the analysis below;
