Senator Tinubu, reportedly polled 1,271votes to defeat the immediate past Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and other APC Presidential aspirants.

Tenumah, who spoke to Fresh Angle International this afternoon on telephone from Abuja, immediately after the APC Presidential Primary, expressed happiness that despite the differences in the choice of Presidential aspirants among the Itsekiri APC leaders and youths prior to the primary, they respected each other’s opinion and worked in peace and harmony, in the resolve to ensure the ruling party produced a flagbearer that is acceptable to all.

While emphasizing the need for APC members to close ranks and work towards ensuring that Senator Tinubu wins the presidential election slated for the first quarter of next year, 2023, the former Delta South APC Women Leader, advised Itsekiri leaders in the party: “Forgiveness is important for us now, because of our collective interest as a people”.
