In a free and fair election Buhari can take can 75 % votes in the north, he can get 30% from west ,20% from east and may be 5% in South south. Now the stategy is to allow Ribadu contest with Okonje iweala on the ACN platform , this conbination can get 40% of west, 40% of east ,20% of south south and 10% in the north, Jonathan can get 75% south south, 40% of east, 30% of west and 15%of north, with this you can see that Buhari will carry the day and going by the above analysis the decision not have one candidate by the opposition can work.

What do you think?

How were your percentages derived?

I believe Buhari is fast gaining popularity but that is only among those of us who read and use the internet. Nothing has been done to get to the grassroots and that is a very critical area if one wants to gain popularity and followership. As far as the SW grassroots is concerned, what the people follow is the party. What has been done to reach the market women, the road transport workers and
other numerous associations? He still has a long way to go and
time is fast ticking.

As u put up the %ages, dn't forget to put the %ages of pdp faithfuls in the north because pdp will ever vote for their party no matter what.

PDP is popular but not GEJ in the north i still have not met a core northerner that say he will vote for GEJ.
