APC will retain their state...
No PDP presence here

senatordave1:


A general is PDP candidate

Kyase:

Who cares? PDP don't have structure in the state

senatordave1:


It was a pdp state from 2003-2015

Kyase:

Before APC came to town

senatordave1:


That means pdp is still alive.senate leader yahaya protested

Kyase:


You'll see

senatordave1:

Kyase:


Still waiting for result of zone C ......tomorrow we should know the final outcome...
Though alia has won, but to make it official

senatordave1:


Its like young alh will pick zone a ticket.he should pair with alia or Daniel onjeh

senatordave1:


A general is PDP candidate

yyba:
if you know kebbi state very well, the PDP general can't get up to 10% of total votes cast in general elections. In 2019 eve of governorship general election ,the governorship candidate of PDP senator isa galaudu abandon the entire election, the incumbent governor BAGUDU ATIKU was elected at general election unopposed

Kyase:

.young Alhaji is not from zone A but Zone C

fergie001:
Dem don play Senate Leader game

senatordave1:


Pdp is strong in yauri and zuru axis.they also have ex governor dakingari and kabiru tanimu

senatordave1:


Initially, aliero was supporting him but with malami withdrawal,aliero and bagudu picked Dr idris as a compromise leaving yahaya stranded

fergie001:

Aliero's angst is Malami.

senatordave1:
From adeyanju's statement,wike is backing the Michael enyong faction in aks.udom might just lose out.most of obi delegates will now go to him.

fergie001:

I don't like discussing that man.

senatordave1:
Supreme court restores Rocha's faction..

Seems obanikoro son lost

fergie001:

I am shocked but the right judgement.

However, Ward Delegates & Primaries are organised by the NWC hence they aren't affected. Dan Nwafor's tenure ends July 23, 2022.

Uche Ogbuagu lost 106 to 8.


He did.

I pitied him, his father's sins.

senatordave1:


I was referring to Benue south
