Buhari has won Kwara (Massively) and Nassarawa which are both North central and once touted to be battle ground states by PDP

Buhari will use Atiku to set some sweet records... Nasarawa is just one

Kwara with the victory of APC in a PDP state under the power of the number 3 man in the country who happens to be in the opposition is another

APC doing PDP shege in their domain South South and South East is the next.

Where are the Atiku will clear NC guys?

We wee not take itttt...

Notice the low total votes being recorded nationwide from both candidates? The era of manual allocation and writing of votes is long over. I love this election and the way it has been creating some shockers unlike the years when the results were as good as predictable

Niger gone, Nassarawa gone. They're still saying *so far, I'm impressed with Atiku*.

Kwara Also gone

GAME OVER for Dubai strategy.

Solid performance by Buhari in NW and NE

Better than projected performance in NC, SE, SS (SE and SS losing-margins less than 2015)

Tight race in SW - but PMB winning overall.

The path to victory is now very very clear

200k+ each ke?

A margin of 38,000 for an entire State??

Hmmm....

It's like we will need card readers for the next Population Census.
