Last Tuesday, the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi witnessed an unprecedented crowd of supporters who thronged the overstretched stadium in support of the candidature of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Bauchi State was, before now, what many would call a ‘Buhari territory’. But that perception seems to have waned in the last three and half years of the Buhari presidency. Many have attributed the decline of Buhari’s popularity in Bauchi to a number of issues bothering on the increased level of poverty, high level of unemployment, insecurity amongst others.

Also, there are concerns in some quarters about the health of the President, especially his mental capacity to effectively lead the nation for the next four years. Obviously, part of what have exacerbated these concerns are his slurred speeches in and out of campaign arenas and his inability to recognize people sometimes, especially those in his own party.

Unlike in 2015 when Buhari, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ran against Jonathan, a Southerner, he will now be running against an opposition candidate with the same ethnoreligious background as him – and that counts for much for an average Bauchi voter.

Corruption, which President Buhari is perceived to be fighting, seems to be an albatross on the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar. The perception of some voters is that he is corrupt and would ‘steal’ the country’s resources if voted into office. But there are also those who say they are tired of hunger and joblessness and would care less about corruption as long as they are able to feed and cater for their family needs.

Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of PDP, during the campaign for his party’s presidential candidate said “We are convinced that with this crowd, Bauchi state is for PDP. They can not rig elections in Bauchi state, if they try it, whatever they see, they will have to take it. We have the best presidential candidate in the country today because he is competent and has the capacity to lead the nation.

“Buhari is tired, weak and can not go further anymore. But Atiku has been tested and proved. He will provide food, security and employment. He will not cede his power to cabal because he will be the Commander-in-Chief that will work for the people”.

Atiku on his part, said “Three years have passed, what has APC done for you; except hunger, poverty and lies? When I was Vice president in 2003, a memo was brought to me by Hon. Shira for the restoration of Steyr company and I approved 500 hundred million naira. But APC has driven the company into comatose. If you vote me, I bring back your Steyr company to create jobs for our teeming youths.

“We even commissioned rail lines running from Bauchi across Gombe to Maiduguri but APC has spoilt it. Also, we commissioned dry port to boost businesses in Bauchi, but it is closed today because of the nonchalance of the APC. But I will revive it if you vote for me”

Atiku and Secondus may have spoken from their perspective as leaders of the opposition, but much of what they said is being discussed daily by ordinary people at ‘Mai shai’ (tea shops) joints and elsewhere around the state.

But a week, they say, is enough for things to change in politics. However, many pundits say the presidential election will be 60/40 in Bauchi, in favour of Buhari.

una no dey tire? A ruling party acting like opposition smh.

Even buhari knows he'll loose Benue state, crowd or no crowd atiku is winning.

I like buhari because of his style of stealing and how he manages to fool his followers

They tried to blackmail him

olawalepopoola:
It is very unfortunate that the number of Nigerians on nairaland is not up to 5% of the total eligible voters for the 2019 general elections. From observation so far the NW, NE and SW is certain for Buhari to win. The central will be shared with Etiku wining 45% to 55% for Buhari. The SE is for Etiku while in the SS Etiku will win 60% to 40% for Buhari.
Wailers please get prepared to wailer come 18th of February 2019 as Nigerians will finally nail PDP coffin.
NEXT LEVEL IS SUREST WAY

let me analyse it well for you..

North West region
Sokoto APC 45- PDP 55
Jigawa APC 45- PDP 55
Kano APC 55-pdp 45
Kaduna APC 55-pdp 45
Zamfara APC 45-pdp 55
Katsina APC 65- PDP 35


South west region
Lagos APC 45- PDP 55
Ekiti 50-50
Ondo APC 40- PDP 60
Osun 50-50
Oyo 50-50
Ogun 50-50

North East region
Borno APC 70- PDP 30
Taraba APC 25- PDP 75
Adamawa APC 30- PDP 70
Kebbi APC 70- PDP 30
Yobe APC 65- PDP 35
Bauchi APC 45- PDP 55

So it has gotten to this?

Atiku will likely have over 10 million votes in south south alone

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has predicted the outcome of the 2019 presidential election.

Speaking with DAILY POST on Friday, President of the AYCF, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, said Nigerians were tired of the present political settings and have shown willingness to change leadership.

According to him, even though the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, does not have money to buy crowd at campaign venues, Nigerians have shown that they wanted a better life than what is obtainable at the moment.

Asked to predict the outcome of the February 16 presidential poll, Shettima, said, “Atiku is winning. We are sure because we have worked enough and people are now wiser. In a free and fair election, the present leader will not be a match for Atiku.”

On whether the crowd attending Buhari’s rallies is intimidating to him, the youth leader added, “Did you see the crowd in Katsina yesterday? Were those people paid to come out? Does Atiku have money to give to governors to pay those crowd? Now you compare to somebody who has so much money to share around to governors, can you compare?

“And at what point did we descend so low that elections are being determined by crowd? At what point did we descend that low. Okay, let’s go to the polls by February then let’s see.”

nairamaniac:
This is front page worthy. But I seriously doubt Edo to be above Ogun state.

stop listening to nonsense and stupid propaganda..

The only south west state richer than Edo state is Lagos and we all know the reason why

Edo is richer than Oyo and IMO, update that nonsense list..

3 of the old Benin kingdom territory is in top 10

If buhari is not followed to the polling booth and be properly guided, he might vote atiku as the president.

jesusjnr:
Thank you for reminding me to correct it, because it's absolutely my error.

Father please forgive me.

you actually believed it's God that sent them?

Gombe is one of the two states in the North East under the control of the PDP. The second is Taraba, but beyond the control, this is the region where the PDP presidential candidate comes from, hence making the voting pattern interesting.

Four other states in the North East: Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi and Yobe, are under the control of the APC.

However, while Atiku may like to get an upper hand in all the states, analysts believe that his interest in winning overwhelmingly in Taraba and Gombe, and to a greater extent in Adamawa, his state of origin, cannot be overemphasised.

In Gombe for instance, the PDP has been the ruling party for a record 16 years without interruption. The party came to power in 2003 when Danjuma Goje wrested power from late Gov. Abubakar Habu Hashidu of the defunct ANPP, and since then, it continued to hold sway.

There was a time in the state that all political office holders: the governor, three senators, six House of Representatives members, 24 state legislators, 11 local government chairmen and 114 councilors were from the PDP.

Virtually all the development projects in the state: roads, three universities, colleges of nursing and midwifery and legal and Islamic studies, a polytechnic, airport, among several others, were constructed during PDP administration.

As such, despite stiff opposition in the North over the emergence of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as PDP presidential candidate against the interest of the region in 2011, the party was able to get more than the required 25 per cent votes from Gombe State.

Jonathan scored 290,347 votes against Muhammadu Buhari of the CPC then, who got 459,898.

Also, in 2015, despite the APC ‘tsunami’ that swept northern states, the PDP was able to retain the governorship seat two weeks after people of the state massively voted for President Buhari of the APC.

During the 2015 presidential polls, the state was divided along ethnic and religious lines, hence Jonathan got only 96,873 votes while Buhari scored 361,245.

However, for the 2019 elections, both Atiku and Buhari are from the same ethnic and religious faith, and therefore, the election is expected to be a keen contest.

There are 1,394, 856 registered voters as released by INEC with 94,372 uncollected PVCs in Gombe State.

Prior to the coming of the APC-led administration in 2015, people of the state; being neighbours to Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, where insurgency was at its peak, were living under perpetual fear of Boko Haram attacks.

However, with the relative peace now in the zone, people of Gombe State are solidly behind the APC presidential candidate who they see as a messiah.

Also, almost all the major political actors in the state are now in the APC and have pledged to work for Buhari’s victory. The latest to defect is the Director General of the PDP Campaign Council in the state, Alhaji Bala Bello Tinka.

However, the people of the North East have been yearning to take a shot at the presidency considering that since the country’s first and only Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, from Bauchi State, the closest the zone got to the presidency, was when Atiku served as vice president during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure.

As such, the PDP promoters are exploiting that opportunity by reminding people of Gombe not to allow the chance of producing a president slip away from them.

Also, apart from the relative peace being enjoyed in the state, people cannot point to a single physical development project initiated by the APC government and executed in the state.

There are also people who are disappointed by Buhari’s performance in the last four years. Therefore, these groups may throw their weight behind Atiku.

However, Dr. Babayo Sule, a political analyst, said the 2019 presidential election in Gombe would not produce much surprise because of some considerable factors.

“Analytically, the final result may look around 60 per cent in favour of President Buhari and 40 per cent tilting towards Atiku,” he said.

“This is because the North East where Gombe belongs to has become a traditional stronghold of President Buhari owing to his performance in terms of minimising the menace of Boko Haram and continuation of work on the abandoned construction of the Trunk A highways from Gombe to Yola and in other parts of the North East,” he said.

He added that, “The president is also enjoying the power of incumbency which is a decisive factor in Nigerian elections and has unrepentant followers in Gombe like other parts of the North who see the president as a man of integrity that they cannot afford to replace for now. These are the factors that will lead to a slight victory presumably.”

On the other hand, Dr. Babayo said Atiku would surely give President Buhari a good fight in Gombe owing to his belonging to the North East because the voting behaviour in Nigeria historically displayed sentiments of region, religion and ethnicity.

“Emotion can play on psychology of many voters in Gombe to sway towards voting for Atiku in this regard,” he said.

“Also, Gombe is one of the power houses of PDP in the North entirely and the incumbency factor of the state government can fetch many votes for Atiku. Besides, the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Sen. Usman Bayero Nafada, who is a strong contender, can influence his loyalists to vote for Atiku as he expressed his unalloyed support to his party’s presidential candidate during the BBC Hausa Service debate in Gombe. Additionally, Atiku’s moneybag can offer him potential for securing many votes in the state,” he said.

Furthermore, during the campaigns of Atiku and Buhari, who are the only presidential candidates so far to visit the state, the Pantami Township Stadium was filled to capacity with the number of supporters outside the stadium outnumbering those inside.

Thus, it is believed that the two leading presidential candidates may likely split the 1,394,856 registerev voters in the state.

I think African Americans are mentally unstable

buhariguy:
the factions of buhari in adamawa is enough to give him 90％ votes in adamawa.

When thousand of hundreds gathered to welcome him and appreciate him

You show only about 30 people burning brooms

Who are you deceiving

Last last una go dey alright

Bros don't over think it oo, no be you dey contest so don't die of heart attack

Don't even know why some idiots think buhari can beat the waziri of Adamawa in Adamawa..

Bauchi,taraba and Adamawa are the first states atiku will win up north

adeiza4u:
Nairalanders, I need your assistance please. I'll be writing a project on political language of Atiku Abubaker using his campaign speeches and media interviews.
The only hurdle I'm battling with now is how to get his campaign speeches. I've been searching the Internet for his recent campaign speeches to no success yet.
The only ones I've got intact are the videos of his media interviews so far.
Please how do I get at least 4 of his campaign speeches, including his inaugural campaign speech?

Cc: lalasticlala, , salamrushdie, Gleestarsmag, Binikingdowm and others please.

I don't follow or even watch campaign videos of any political party..

But I got a chance to see atiku live and hear him speak, he didn't read any speeches from book or any electrical means,he says what comes out of his heart..


He talked about the economy, hunger and youth employment including defending our votes, he didn't use any speeches aid.

Lmao

if you like borrow more soldiers from other other countries, atiku will still win

abduljabbar4:
What machinery did he have? Zero to few governors, No big men in his party, no funds, etc.

and you expect him to get votes down south without a structure?

Is like saying sowore should win the north

abduljabbar4:
Yes, to show how he performed despite all the manipulations. I always laugh when i hear you guys praising gej. How can a state have 85% turnout with almost everyone voting pdp? Jonathan managed a lot of votes even in places like Borno and Kano while Buhari was getting 67,000 in Rivers. Red flag

so the election was free and fair in places buhari got millions of votes but was rigged in places Jonathan won?

abduljabbar4:
I said credibility. For your info, Even Yaradua, May his gentle soul rest in peace, acknowledged that his party rigged the election.

but your people always bring those figure up when debating buhari popularity
