Is a Runoff Between Buhari And Ribadu Very Likely ? by heilige(m): 7:54am On Apr 10, 2011
Voice out your opinion of a possible runoff between Buhari and Ribadu


Nigerians have finally spoken. We can all see the writing on the wall. Irrespective of INEC's finally results outcome, we hope no magic will be performed this time around. With the way these results are at the moment, it seems next week will really usher in true and positive change. People have voted massively for [size=14pt]"CPC"[/size] and "ACN" in this week's election, there is no way they will vote otherwise in next weekend's election. Nigerians are not dull people they are tired of ("Umbella" PDP according to Dame Goodluck).

I see an outrigt win for BUHARI or a run off between Buhari and Ribadu. Earlier reports already stated that the North (Babangiba, Ciroma and Co.) have started looking for a Northern candidate to represent the North, it's just because they already saw these multiple defeats coming the PDP way.

Voting next week will be different from yesterday. Ribadu will not get 10% of total votes cast. Forget about Ribadu for run-off.

@wadeoye,
U got it spot on cos they re selling ACN and not Ribadu.
CPC is selling Buhari Bakare, two of who stands for integrity, trust, hope and prosperity for the common man.

The die is cast and the borders are open for those who wants to escape cos the true meaning of 'WE, THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA' is about to be Unveiled for the benefit of all.

GOD BLESS THE TRUE NIGERIANS

One thing a lot of people should understand is that Nigerians are not doing 'Party Politics'. We've all learnt that the best for us is voting for credible leaders/representatives, and also ensuring that the NASS is not occupied predominantly by a single party.
For example, in Borno State in the NE, people voted massively for the PDP candidates, clearly because of the credibility of the candidates. This is contrary to the belief by some that voters were out just to remove PDP. They really humiliated the ruling ANPP. And you should note that because Buhari was the pres. candidate for CPC didn't mean voters would go out to vote CPC candidates only. In fact, right here, the PDP candidate for governorship is the Favorite.


Next week's election will DEFINITELY be different from the trend you saw yesterday.  


The only election which is likely to follow yesterday's pattern is the Gubernatorial and State house of Assembly.

No result yet but here romour mongers will never keep their shut. When nigeria finish voting on the 16th some people will disappear from NL just as they did after pdp primaries.

The answer is NO. It all revolves around PDP. Either of ACN or CPC has to step down for there to be some possibility of runoff.

Follow this thread and see what some political analysts have done here on nairaland: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-628352.0.html

Also, it is better to wait for the official INEC results before making certain conclusions.
