2011 elections in those states returned about 3.4 million for Jonathan and 6.5 million for Buhari. You must understand that their are substantial numbers of marginalized Ethnic minorities and many Christians in these states with issues against the hausa fulani overlords. It will alway reflect in all election particularly this one which will give Jonathan decent numbers. All politics are local.

tinsel:
The only states in the south south and south east with ninety percent plus collection rates are imo, rivers and akwaibom. Imo and rivers are APC states. Then almost all states in the south west have Ninety percent plus rate of collection. I am just wondering.

Raiders:
are you talking about the Christians and minority that GEJ refused to protect? Things are different from 2011 and GEJ has lost most of the support he got in 2011 because he failed to perform.

I think u are the person who needs to read the constitution.
Buhari has been campaigning in the South coz all he needs is the constitutional 25% while the North rakes in the required numbers.
Even Amaechi knows GEJ will win in Rivers State all he wants to deliver is 25% and let Kano and Katsina and other northern states to do the needful.

Una no dey see far that's has always been una problem

how many Igbos do you think will come out to vote on the presidential election day? Most Igbo on the streets don't really give a damn about GEJ or Buhari. However those northerners has a very high voters apathy. I will be really surprise if voters turn out in the east on the presidential election will be above 50%.

pekeyim:

You've not read the constitution.


Please make sure u buy one, as u are stuck in traffic somewhere.

Thank you.

A candidate needs 2/3 of the 36 states with @ least 25% plus highest vote, Buhari will not get up to 5% in Bayelsa.

That's minus 1 state for him.

hardywaltz:
I pity these Bayelsans who keep making noise with their inconsequential 500k votes who keep shouting "GEJ till 2019" compared to Kano with 4mil voting strength.

SergeAlain:
Good going.

However, i think Jega should apologize to all Nigerians for suggesting that he was ready for the elections in Feb 14, and that it was security concerns that made him postpone.

That was a lie from the pits of HELL!!!

MrEverest:
The "sophisticated" seems not to know the importance of PVC collection even when almajiris have since collected theirs Imagine Ogun state having just about 40% Yet they make the most noise about a very useless "change" Some people think its by shouting on internet that one can win election. This very election will indeed shock some people. Kudos Imo, just between Feb 17 % March 12, you jumped from 69% to 94% it shows that you guys have put your PVC where your mouth is, Imo educational advancement is not paper statistics but reality, March for Jonathan and embarrass Rochas . Something is not right with Lagos, people are complaining bitterly that they cant get their PVC from INEC yet they present it as if Lagosians have refused to collect their PVC, I hope the purported disenfranchisement of non indigenous citizens have been corrected because seeing Kano having a higher PVC collection when Lagos has a much higher TVC is not right!!

dafuturis:


I want to commend INEC for their pro-active measures taken so far to ensure that appreciable number of registered voters gets their PVCs. Last week, A car drove into my compound, an INEC official came out and immediately handed me my neighbours PVC after series of questions and answers i.e trying to check if he could trust me to deliver the PVC. now that's worthy of note. I reside in Imo though A Deltan, my neighbour is an Akwa-ibomite. He's voting for Buhari, same with me, my mom, elder bro and few friends here.

I put it to you that GEJ can not get above 60% votes here in Imo.

new2020:


Excellent. Tell that to ignorant yoruba boy who has not traveled out of SW. He doesn't know that Igbos make up 10% of Kano, 15% of Niger, 15% Kaduna, 15% of Nasarawa...Maku is not an I$diot to run on APGA, 10% Borno, 10% Plateau, 35% Lagos, e.t.c.

MrEverest:
Sorry, which Imo please?? The Imo were I reside will give president Jonathan nothing less than 85% votes. If GEJ is not massively popular here, what do you think is the reason why every other party aside APC is using his face to campaign in their various parties Besides which area of Imo are you staying because you don't seem to know what is on ground.

Asek1:
Nice one but they should make sure it reaches everybody . . .

dafuturis:


I stay in Mgbidi and I didn't miss words

ubanett:
give igbo people their PVC then the statistics will improve 100 percent

dafuturis:


Sorry to let you know that those % you mention are either in one or two of the class below.

1. Didn't register for TVC

2. Don't care to collect their PVC

3. Don't give a damn about GEJ or Buhari

4. Can't close their shop for even a minute

5. Has never voted for anything before and aint starting now

pekeyim:
I think if this record is anything to go by, then it is a clear that our population is no where near 170 million as we claim.



Another thing i'll like to point out is the low collection of PVCs in Ogun state, maybe Lagos has something to do with it.

GHA1:




Gej till 2019.....haters go and huge transformer

dklex:


They will never do that, is too expensive.

we are set now to re-elect the man of transformation.
Buhari till 2019/APC 2023

Please take several sits around you and chill.

arsetalks:
Where did you get these stats from care to tell us?

HAH:
INECs mandate is to ensure they print every legally registered persons PVC but they cannot compel people to pick their pvc.

My verdict is with an average of 80% nationwide inec has passed.

there are over 10 million cards collected in kano, kaduna and katsina. I can bet GMB will get 9 million get of of it.

Nigeria sai Buhari

GEJ is a goner with the above statistics

snowland:
Going by this release, it shows that the South Western states have the least percentage collection. Does this mean that my SW brothers are not politically sagacious or we are simply nonchalant?. I don't think I'm wrong if I made bold to say na only mouth we get for South West. If no state in the region can boast of 75% collection, it is indeed a show of shame for the region that brands itself the Political Headquarter of Nigeria.

One thing you can never take away from my people in the northern part of the country when it comes to politics is their passion. They are very passionate in their words and they always corroborate their words with their actions.

We (South Westerns), as a matter of urgency, really need to evaluate and change our political orientation because elections are not won on pages of Punch or Vanguard. Elections are not won by mere rambling and talking. Elections are won by having the right tools.

If you are Team "CHANGE", your [i]Sitdon dey look [/i]posture will not help your team on election day. Do the needful, get your PVC and change the story of your candidates from dreamers to achievers.

If you belong to Team "TRANSFORMATION", no amount of miracle will transform your "idea" into realities if you fail to act wisely. Do the needful and transform your candidates from aspirants to winners.

For those that may want to read ethnic bigotry into this post, I'm a born and well-bred South Westerner from the State of Osun. So please before you even say it, shut your mouth.
