President Muhammadu Buhari of All Progressives Congress (APC), has defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),  at the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s polling unit in Abeokuta in Saturday’s presidential poll.

INEC Presiding Officer for the centre,  Adakole Ochegbudu, announced that Buhari scored 87 votes, while Atiku scored 18 votes in the election.

Obasanjo had severally castigated Buhari and openly announced his support for Atiku ahead of the election.

The former president could not, however, deliver his polling unit to his anointed candidate.(NAN)
