Former Anambra Governor and candidate of Labour Party Mr Peter Obi scored  132,683 votes     to finish strongly in third place while the YPP and NNPP ganered   27,179  and 7796 votes respectively.

Atiku won in 22 of the Local Councils while Tinubu won in six with Obi winning the urban cities of Uyo, Eket and also Ibiono Ibom councils.

The state has a total number of 2,357,418 registered voters but only 594,450 were accredited to vote.
