In light of the fact that Nigerians are still

 In light of the fact that Nigerians are still waiting to see who will take over as president once Muhammadu Buhari's term ends, it's interesting to examine who is leading in terms of the number of states won in the ongoing presidential election.

The presidential election this year is widely expected to be decided by just three candidates: Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), or Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

But, as of 2pm, the electoral agency, INEC, had released the results of 24 states, and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP appeared to have won the most states (10 as of the time this report was filled out). The states of Adamawa, Osun, Gombe, Yobe, Katsina, Bauchi, Akwa-ibom, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, and Sokoto gave him a combined total of 5,359,613 votes.

Following Atiku Abubakar by 7 states and 6,708,209 votes is Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Jigawa, Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Kwara, and Zamfara are now under his control.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate for the Labour Party, is in second place after APC's Bola Ahmed Tinubu. So far, Peter Obi has been declared the winner in six states (Nasarawa, Enugu, Plateau, Lagos, Edo, and Anambra) with a total of 3,158,952 votes, as reported by INEC.

At this point in the ongoing presidential election in Nigeria, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) of Rabiu Kwankwaso has only won one state, and that state is Kano State with a total of 1,428,011 votes.
