I honestly didn't expect anything less than this.
I found it laughable that some people actually thought apc will lose 2019 presidential elections, with their beer parlour permutations of how a certain northern candidate will splite the vote

elections is not game of blackmailing or emotional rantings on social media.

2019 elections will be a record breaking election.
Buhari will win with the highest margin ever in the history of presidential elections.
you can save this post .

using security challenge to blackmail a sitting president is not enough to win election in Nigeria.

every past administration always have one or two security challenges to face.

apc won election with the coalitions of power blocs in south west and northern nigeria.with few others.

this marriage is still intact though will definitely face challenges because of the power brokers in the union but surely will overcome it.

you see ur life?

This governor has finally earned my respect as most Democratic governor in Nigeria today. All his colleagues will not allow opposition to win one councillorship seat.

PierreAbutu:


Leave d guy, he doesn't know Bullhari will get little or no votes in southwest due to the rising strength of SDP, SOWORE, OBASANJO etc.
2019......everybody eye don clear, no one can use ethnic or religious sentiments to deceive us any longer

I'm trying to imagine how our "honest' President will go to NASSARAWA, TARABA, KOGI, BENUE AND ADAMAWA to campaign after the slaughter in those places by his fulani herdsmen buddies

Their eyes will clear. Keep the flag flying high.

danduchi:
The result is completely false... We were at a polling unit yesterday and some guys almost broke the EVM cos when you press to vote for a different party, it automatically adds to APC

Wehdone Igbo

Which polling unit were u?

fullstreets:
Manipulation. These hungry Hausa people will choose religion and party over commonsense.

So you people voted APC in 2015 abi?

which parties were holding these LGA previously?

GavelSlam:


The electronic voting made it more transparent.

Are u afraid that a transparent election will send buhari parking?

I am not suprised

Credit should be giving to el rufai most local govt elections in d states is usually 100% to d party that control the state.

Kudos to El-Rufai.

so apc still dey win election....are you sure it's not rigged

PDP and ipob will win 2019 on NL. Ekiti will shock them..

straighttalk:


See analysis, this graphic painting go earn you world record if you try improve it small.

But my advice for you is, next time try get a better and updated knowledge of your target place: Don't wholly relie on newspapers alone

pdp won all lg in enugu and other states it controls...winning 3 lga in buhari's stringhold means wahala dey

Cjayboy:
Guys, this is an indication that PDP is really making a frantic effort in returning to power come 2019.
A state that's been governed by APC that PDP is winning 3 LGAs out of 19 already announced.

How many PDP controlling States did APC win even councillorship election?

Guy stop writing nonsense even Apga contested in southern kaduna , they will vote it against APC because they vote base on religion. they regarded apc as a muslim party. and Elrufai winning KD in 2019 is a done deal no opposition. more than 70% did not showed up for the election yesterday.

Reference:


Oga, all politics is local. You cannot expect them to support a government complicit or ambivalent in the wanton killings going on. Mind you PDP as a national party barely exists. Most of these votes won by the PDP will be protests votes against the status quo. Take it from me. If the APC led government doesn't come to socio-economic neutrality, the crack will only become a chasm. The APC is not doing well in Kaduna, period.

There is no any party in kaduna apart from apc take it or leave it .

seunmsg:


Your understanding of Nigeria's politics is still very low. This is a local government election among local people who know each other closely. It is always keenly contested once the election is free of rigging. The dynamics change seriously once it is the presidential election. All those guys that voted PDP in the local government election will vote based on religion and ethnicity and other similar considerations. Party no longer matters at that stage. From the result that I have seen from Kaduna so far, it's a done deal for Buhari in the state. He will sweep the state clean. And yeah, the shites voted in the election and APC still won Zaria.

In the height of Buhari's popularity and USA back up, he won with 3 million votes. We shall see if the shia and christian kaduna, both indigenes and foreigners will vote for him again.
You don't understand Nigerian politics, a sitting Governor doesn't lose a single LGA, inspite of APC's gang up in Enugu they couldn't win a single LGA. Do you know the calibre of heavy weights in Enugu APC? In Abia, in spite of APGA sweeping popularity they couldn't win a single LGA but they won Aba in both the Federal House and State houses but couldn't win a single LGA. Use your head.
In Anambra last LGA govt election, apart from the Governor that is from APGA unlike the other federal lawmakers, APGA still cleared the entire LGA. Look at Rivers, even though Wike was Governor-elect, APC still won the entire LGA.
So what happened in Kaduna was a shift in dynamics. APC lost, take it or leave it.
Translate that to general election, it won't be as 2015.

OFFICIAL336:

Oga, this is a mere LG election, so don't use it to generalize. The dynamics of the election should tell you that APC is in trouble. No opposition has won a single LG since 2015.
Just imagine only 42k voted for APC in Zaria, what will happen when the Shia moslems, the Southerners file out to send Buhari back to Daura.
If PDP can win a mere LG in Kaduna, capital of Arewa and Buhari's residence, then APC is really in trouble.
Stop analysing election like a toddler.

1) ACN won Kaduna North LG election in the election organised by Ramalan.
2) This is a better election, not the wuruwuru usually organised by governors
3) Turn out in Local government elections are usually poor. Only a strong and loved candidates can bring good turnout to such elections
4) All local governments won by PDP are in Southern Kaduna where PDP has ALWAYS been strong. PDP has a senator representing the area presently. So, such result is expected.
Stop wishful thinking

SternProphet:


Why has no opposition won a single state before? Why is Nigeria peopled but cowards and liars? You see the truth you run away and you call yourself a man.
Oppositions don't win because of rigging.
This election was not rigged. Pure and simple. The INEC is independent and El Rufai is very very confident Southern Kaduna issue, sacking of unqualified teachers and insulting his State Senators and he still recorded this performance.
Please think vigorously not like a woman

The voting machine, did you configure the back end?

I don't know the voting pattern in other local government councils but as for Kajuru where I patticipated, I am pretty sure that APC did not win. At the moment they are yet to announce the result at the collation center. The returning officers are no wher to be found. Those of you outside Kaduna should not take this results as a true reflection of the voting pattern.

If this is what APC intends to do in 2019 then we are in trouble.

Similarly, the APC won in Makarfi Local Government, the hometown of the former National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi.

SalamRushdie:


Emulate rigging? Are you okay?

We should be asking if you are OK?


How is it rigging? Explain to us?

OFFICIAL336:

Do you have access to the back end?

Did you ask how it works first? After voting, the machine prints 2 print outs. You take one and put the other in the ballot box. So machine counting and counting the papers in ballot boxes should be same

GavelSlam:


Did you hear any complaints?

Will they allow PDP access to the configuration. Just one algorithm can render that useless.

This is a good one actually based on the use of electronic voting, however was it ever test run prior to the election? Secondly, where did this gadgets emanate from because the QA/QC must be known before it usage. This is the area I give the Kadunna state gov't and their KSIEC a FULL thumbs down! Their sincerity and compliance is in doubt and the results is also questionable going by the whole arrangements and conduct. Voter education also was also missing.... But overall it is a step in the right direction

One thing u must know is that most people do not take local government election serious especially the opposition. So APC should expect more defeat in 2019.

A commentator said if you press any other party the electronic voter machine automatically adds it to APC votes. I smelt a rat when El rufai was all over the emedia hyping his rigging machine, he is too corrupt, too desperate and has made so much enemies to conduct a free and fair election, some one said, the issue is not about giving the mad mad the matchet but collecting it back. APC is the mad man with the knife, they can never give up power so easily, they are so desperate for it and so foolish with it. U think the IGP and Buratai can afford to be out of power, u have to think again, they will ensure they stay in power for ever

impressive

El-Rufai didn't want to follow the way of governors who declare their party won all local governments elections as is usually done in Nigeria. Reason you see PDP winning some LG. APC didn't lose. Democracy won.

exactly, is like you are also from KD

but you must be on a long thing if you expect apc not to win in the north or the terrorist boooohari to lose in the 2019 elections. this is not because they have brainless zombies as followers but because they WILL SURELY RIG THEIR WAY TO VICTORY. boooohari will never cower like GEJ.

Well not surprised. It's a usual Nigeria political viruses where APC is using federal influence to intimidating voting process with the help of APC members as INEC officials.


INEC and security situations are the Nigeria is blessed with corrupt and selfish politicians as leaders.

Where are the PDP wailers? Seems they've gone Into Extinction on this thread.



Congratulations to all APC Candidates.
