At PU 131, one of several units around the premises, he received 17 votes, defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Bola Tinubu, who received six votes, and their Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, who received three votes.
Earlier, Obi voted at polling unit 19 in the Agulu area of Anambra State’s Anaocha Local Government Area, in Nigeria’s South-East geopolitical zone.
Obi and his wife Margaret voted around 11:45 a.m. on Saturday after waiting in line for about 30 minutes.
Addressing reporters after he voted, Obi said the process was “seamless”.
Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State from 2006 to 2014, is well-liked by young people. Many pre-election polls predicted that the 61-year-old businessman, who is running alongside Kaduna-based Datti Baba-Ahmed, would win.
