The ongoing All Progressives Congress Senate primary election for Delta North has sparked widespread reactions online after a viral video appeared to show former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa overwhelmingly defeating Ned Nwoko in a physical headcount of supporters.
In the footage circulating on social media, an official overseeing the primary process was seen counting party members and supporters standing behind the two contenders.
According to figures announced during the exercise, Okowa reportedly secured the backing of 6,922 attendees, while Nwoko received support from just three people. The dramatic margin immediately triggered intense reactions online, with many users expressing surprise at the scale of the reported outcome.
The APC primary for the Delta North senatorial ticket is still ongoing, and party officials have yet to issue a formal statement confirming the final result of the contest. As of the time of filing this report, neither Okowa nor Nwoko had publicly reacted to the viral video.
