There are six geopolitical zones: SS, SE, SW, NC, NE, NW

SE has six states with them and Buhari didn't have any 25% vote
SS has six states
SW has six states and Buhari had 25% in all the six
NC has six states and Buhari has 25% in all of them
NE 6 states and Buhari has 25% in all of them
NW has 6 states and has 25% in all of them.

So, leaving out SS and SE, BUHARI has 25% in all the other 24 states + Abuja. So, CHANGE IS INEVITABLE. SAI BABA!!!

Revolution:


In addition to winning the majority of the votes, the winner must win 25% of the votes in 24 states (i.e. 2/3 of 36 states). Buhari won the popular votes and achieved 25% of votes in 26 states, therefore, he is elected President and Commander-in-Chief
gbam!! Neva again will a clueless and corruption friendly president rule nigeria again.

The same confusion that has befallen me since the announcement of dis whole result began...
Can INEC just kill dis suspense and declare someone a winner?
I don't care about the 25% bruhaha...
Re: Can Someone Help Me Explain The 25% Issue Vs Popular Vote? by BecaciaBarbie(f): 5:24pm On Mar 31, 2015
He got the 25% already, so why not channel the energy you used in typing this shit to congratulate the New president Gen.Muhammad Buhari wink

Re: Can Someone Help Me Explain The 25% Issue Vs Popular Vote? by BronzeMan: 5:26pm On Mar 31, 2015
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.

He cleared it because the situation favours the north




The South -South, And South east states combine is not enough to push for a rerun because its just 11 states.


Plus the APC guys did their home work properly,

I think May 29th is too far,


I'ld love to see how
1N = 1$

Or How he'll stabilise crude oil prices.


The Northerners have been in every democratic government so far.

Atiku -VP
Yaradua-President
Namadi Sambo -VP
Now Buhari -President?



Much for the one Nigeria we claim.
