Just as the sorting of votes by national delegates commenced at the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress, in swingers from the venue have suggested that Bola Tinubu has established an early lead with, VP Yemi Osinbajo and Senate leader Ahmad Lawan all coming behind.
THECONSCIENCENG reports that ballot casting exercise to determine the fate of aspirants, which was carried out by 2,340 delegates, started at about 2.40 am and at 7.45 am.
The six-hour voting process ended with a few delegates still hanging around in a near-empty field of Eagle Square.
However, feelers from the convention ground in Abuja indicated that the battle for the sole presidential ticket is still down to former Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The winner is expected to be declared in a few hours.
Fourteen aspirants are still in the race.
