[b]ELECTORAL STATISTICS FROM THE SIX(6) GEO-POLITICAL ZONES

IN THE NORTH-WEST:

7 million people voted. Buhari won 10 million of the votes, which comes to 60% of the total ballots. Jonathan won 7 million, which matches 40% of the total votes cast. Buhari met the 25% minimum requirement of the ballots cast in six(6) of the six(6) states while Jonathan got the 25% minimum requirement of the total vote cast in two(2) of the six(6) states.

IN THE NORTH-EAST:

10 million people voted. Buhari won 6 million of the total ballots, which comes to 60%, while Jonathan got the remaining 4 million of the votes. This adds up to 40% of the total votes cast. Also, Buhari won the 25% minimum vote requirement in all the six(6) states in this area. Jonathan secured the 25% vote requirement in three(3) of the six(6) states.

IN THE MIDDLEBELT:


6 million people voted here. Jonathan won 3.6 million of the total ballots cast. This is equivalent of the 60% of the total vote cast. Buhari on the other hand won 2.4 million votes, equivalent of 40% of the total ballots. Jonathan also met the 25% vote requirement in all the six(6) states. Buhari managed to procure 25% vote requirement in four(4) of the six(6) states.

IN THE SOUTH-SOUTH:

8 million people voted. Jonathan won 95% of the total ballots, which is equivalent to 7.6 million of the total votes. Buhari secured 400,000, which equals 5% of total ballots. Jonathan also met the 25% vote requirement in all the six(6) states with Buhari unable to make the 25% requirement of the total votes in any of the six(6) states.


IN THE SOUTH-WEST:

10 million people voted. Jonathan won 5.5% of the total votes, the equivalent of 5.5 million ballots. Buhari got 4.5 million ballots, which equals 45%. Both Jonathan and Buhari met the 25% vote requirement in this area.


IN THE SOUTH-EAST:

6 million people voted. Jonathan won 90% of the total votes, the equivalent of 5.4 million ballots. Buhari won only 600,000 ballots, which equal 10% of the total votes. Jonathan met the 25% minimum vote requirement in all the five(5) states. Buhari failed to satisfy this requirement.

TOTAL STATES OF 36 + Abuja= 37 States

TOTAL POPULAR VOTES CAST= 57 Million

TOTAL POPULAR VOTES WON BY JONATHAN= 33.1 Million

TOTAL POPULAR VOTES WON BY BUHARI = 23.9 Million

Number of State Jonathan met the 25% requirement= 28 Number of States

Number of State Buhari met the 25% requirement= 24 Number of States

WINNER= GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN

Article 134 (2) of the Nigerian Constitution stipulates that a presidential candidate will be duly elected after attaining both the highest number of votes cast; and has received at least a quarter of the votes at each of at least two-thirds of all the states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja. If no candidate satisfies the requirement, a second election will be held between the two leading candidates within seven days from the pronouncement of the result.

Its self explanatory, apart from having the highest number of votes, d winner must garner at least 25% in at least 24 states even if he loses in some of d states.

FOR THE ILLITERATES AMONGST US HERE, LET ME BREAK IT DOWN THE WAY I WILL BREAK IT DOWN FOR A 6 YEAR OLD SWEET GIRL


It will perhaps help you understand the spirit and principle of the rule first.

WHY HAVE THE 25% PROVISION?
In a country as diverse as Nigeria, this policy was put in place to ensure that any leader that is elected enjoys the mandate and support of a large part of Nigeria.

Basically, it is insufficient to have a large number of votes from one part of the country. For example, even if I won 100 million votes from Kano state alone, I would still need to demonstrate that I have support from the rest of Nigeria in addition to the large votes I got from Kano.

I would need to get at least 25% of the vote in 2/3rd of the states in Nigeria.

Nigeria has 36 states today, so I would have to get 25% of the votes in 24 states.

NOTE that I don't need to win the 24 states. I just need to get 25%.

So, to recap, to win the presidency in Nigeria, I need

1. A simple majority of the vote which I could get from a small section of the country (or even one state)

ALSO

2. Demonstrate I have support in a large part of the country by showing that at least 25% of voters in at least each of 24 states supports my candidacy.

The problem I have with the opposition is not about the congregations of APC. Absolutely not the point. Opposition is good for democracy but when it comes to the gathering of rebels, anarchists, rapists, peadophiles, pyschos, Godfathers, Born-To-Rule mentalists, power drunks, serial defectors and political prostitutes I have to scrutinize and put into subjections the motive beside such organization.



I kept saying this, no Buharists was excited more than I do when CPC merged with ACN. Infact I still remember the date it was registered by INEC, which is 31/08/2013. I use to comment on Nairaland, Sahara Reporters, LIB, Facebook etc and would applaud them as our future. Everything wrong with Nigeria at that time was blamed on President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. He was the first citizen but was assumed as Nigeria's greatest enemy. I fall for that and I past my judgment on him.



The day I started looking at the other side of the cheek was the moment I realize how I was conned and decieved. APC is such a smart occultic organization, it is far from being a political party. Remove three men from APC and the party is death. If APC were shakened like PDP it could have gone into extinction. Why wouldnt APC give us a leader without blood in his hands? Why a worn out granny full of terminal ideas. Why a coupist that abolished democracy. Why a serial loser. Why a retired and tired octogenarian with a football age. Why a certificateless ex-dictatorial despot? No political party can succeed without an internal democracy within it operation, not especially when it gets that power it bloodly needed.



APC have shown to us it true colour by electing an Old timer as it flag bearer, thereby denying the most healthy ones the opportunity. Why did APC lose such aspirants like Kwankwanso, Rochas or even Atiku in a primary election and choose Buhari. The reason I gave is that APC have been hijacked by Tinubu. Tinubu is holding Nigeria in the palm of it hands. Nigeria is about to be hijacked and plundered by the devouring Lion of Bourdillion. Their Presidential Primary Election in Lagos was an orchestrated charade which had designed the candidacy of Buhari to be the outcome. I want to know why APC choose amongst the other well qualified candidates with their certificates intact for Buhari. The mantra they gave is that he will fight corruption. Corruption That is when I received another lie. Who is Thieftnubu? I rest my case[/b]
