The ongoing senatorial primary election of the All Progressives Congress for the Delta North district has generated widespread reactions online after a viral video appeared to show former Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, overwhelmingly outnumbering Senator Ned Nwoko during a physical headcount of supporters.
In the footage circulating across social media platforms, an official supervising the primary exercise was seen conducting a physical count of party members and supporters standing behind each aspirant during the process.
According to figures announced during the exercise, Okowa allegedly secured the support of 6,922 attendees, while Nwoko reportedly had only three supporters physically counted behind him.
The huge margin immediately sparked heated debate online, with many social media users expressing shock and disbelief over the reported outcome.
Some users questioned the credibility of the exercise, while others mocked the apparent disparity in support between the two political figures.
The Delta North APC senatorial primary remains ongoing, and party officials have yet to release an official statement confirming the final outcome of the contest.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Okowa nor Nwoko had publicly reacted to the viral video or the figures announced during the headcount exercise.
