Candidates With The Highest Number Of Supporters May Not Necessarily Win by peeJ1: 10:17am On Jan 20, 2015 |
I noticed something and i feel i should share it with you. I've been meeting people and when we get to talk about the 2015 General Election, i noticed it's always a two sided affair as expected- the GEJ and the GMB supporters. I also noticed that for every 10 people i meet, 6 are backing GEJ for 2015, while 4 are backing GMB. Something else drew my attention, i was able to find out that out of those 6 supporting GEJ; 2 don't have a voters card, 2 have but are not willing to vote, the remaining 2 have voters card and will vote. Now, in the case of GMB, the case is quite different, even tho the odds doesn't really favour him having 4 supporters out of every 10, he may well be on the winning end if GEJ supporters don't get serious. Now listen carefully, tho GMB has only 4 supporters as compared to GEJ 6 out of every 10. All of GMB's 4 are all willing to vote. My conclusion is that at the end of the election, the winner will not be the man that has more supporters, the winner will be the man with more vote. Doesn't matter how many of you want GEJ or GMB, if you do not vote, you may well be building castles in the air. Visit any INEC office today and get your Permanent Voters Card (PVC). It is your vote that really counts, not just the supports and shoutings in the sun during campaigns. Talk is cheap, if you really want him you will vote him. Support your candidate by VOTING! |

I'm wondering ooo Recently have been doing sampling everywere I go and find people in group(With PVC) and the ration is always arnd GMB 7: - GEJ:3.. Just even check on Nairaland each time some ask for Like for GMB and share for GEJ I notice the ratio of GMB is always higher.. Even out of those wanting to vote for GEJ they feel they their vote won't count even if they vote GMB cos of "Incumbeny powers" I really hope GEJ won't perform IBB stunt.. ashieduplus: |

Even where i go the ratio is GEJ 8: GMB 2...buhari's two come from those who are mostly nairalanders without PVCs...Then you have the block votes from SE/SS. |

Self-deceit and delusions of grandeur. Whoever has decieved you should be scourged, drawn and quartered! FYI, it's Buhari's, supporters that are more motivated to collect their PVCs, at least as far as lagos is concerned. Funny enough, judging from reports from my home state (delta), the general would get a sizable number number of votes, but not the majority , especially in the urban centres. |

Again with the sampling, my sampling has been 8:2 in favor of GMB. Another sampling you can take a look at is any online poll, GMB trouncing GEJ like crazy. All these unscientific sampling do not mean anything, it all depends on the kind of people you know and location. |
