BREAKING: Maiduguri Under Attack On Election Day As Seven Explosions Occur Within Ten Minutes | Sahara Reporters

. if peace is threatened the election in Borno or affected areas will be postponed

The prediction in South west may change. All the states are in control of APC unlike 2015.I foresee APC winning massively in the region today.

2019: Region-by-region prediction of presidential election
. . 3 hours ago
Following is another prediction of the presidential election
Niger Delta

The Situation In 2015
What happened to APC in 2015 in the Niger Delta was humbling. Even in Edo State where APC had a governor in Adams Osheihomole, Buhari lost. Which brings up the issue of Senator Akpabio’s influence in the region. If a sitting governor couldn’t help Buhari in 2015, can a former governor? I attempt to answer that question below.
ADVERTISEMENT
What has changed?
What has changed in the entire region is the fact that Jonathan or any son of the NIGER Delta is no longer on the ballot; both candidates are now Fulani from the north. In Edo particularly, something has changed positively for the APC and technically, it hasn’t. They had an APC governor in 2015 and the national chairman of the party. Those positions remain with them today. Therefore, if Buhari has any chances of winning any state in the South-south, it is Edo. Edo had an excuse that Jonathan was from the region. Now they do not. Adams Oshiomhole has something prove.
Even in 2015, Buhari did well in Edo by getting 208,469 votes against Jonathan’s 286, 869 votes. Compared to Bayelsa where Buhari got 5,000 votes; 28,000 in Cross River and in Rivers he got 69,000 votes compared to Jonathan’s 1.4 million votes. Sadly, Amaechi wasn’t of much help then and he isn’t going to be now in Rivers.
Verdict
Whether we accept it or not, this election is still the south against the north. It doesn’t matter that both candidates are northerners. PDP is south, APC is north. Therefore, Atiku will win South-south. But Buhari will get at least 25%; cumulatively, he is likely to get 30 to 35%. It’s an improvement; better than the 58,000 votes he got from Akwa Ibom against Jonathan’s 950,000 in 2015.
Confidence of prediction
60%
Northeast
The Situation In 2015
Boko Haram occupied about 12 local government areas in 2015. The people lived in constant fear. Even we in Abuja couldn’t go to the mosque or church without thinking of being bombed to smithereens. Now imagine how it felt for the people in the Northeast.
Therefore, people voted for change – massively so in places like Borno, Bauchi and Yobe (where Jonathan got only about 5% of the votes which was 25,526 votes against Buhari’s 446,265). Even Gombe with a sitting PDP governor gave Buhari 361, 245 votes but gave Jonathan less than one third which was 96,873 votes.
What has changed?
A friend from Borno recently told us that they held their APC primary elections at 2AM. That is what has changed. Before, they couldn’t do it during the day time for fear of Boko Haram, let alone at night. While Boko Haram still launches devastating attacks, they are not as ubiquitous as in 2015.
Verdict
PDP will win Taraba as usual and will share the votes with APC in Adamawa in the ratio of 45 to 55 percent in favour of APC. APC will win Gombe, Bauchi, Borno and Yobe.
Confidence of prediction
75%
Southeast
The Situation In 2015
The southeast believed that Jonathan was their candidate. They vicariously presided over Nigeria through Jonathan. And voted for him overwhelmingly.
What has changed?
Buhari paid Biafran service men. He’s now building second NIGER Bridge. He has 500,000 people in Npower – including in the Southeast. Governor Obiano campaigns for Buhari. There’s no longer incident form during elections. So parties can’t rig by claiming that the machine has malfunctioned. And Atiku has replaced Jonathan on the ballot. To boot, Okorocha’s influence in Imo and former Gov Kalu’s popularity as APC senatorial candidate of Abia North will favour Buhari.
Yet, Peter Obi, from Anambra, is Atiku’s running mate. To say nothing of Atiku’s popularity in the region.
Verdict
Atiku will win Southeast. But Buhari will get at least 25%.
Confidence of prediction
80%
Northwest
The Situation In 2015
Masses, especially those from the North were the lone supporters of Buhari. Then the elites joined in. By 2015, even the big shots and the powers that be had joined the popular support.
There was nowhere that support was as massive as in the Northwest.
In Kano Jonathan got 215,000 votes in 2015 about 10% of Buhari’s 1.9 million. In Jigawa, Jonathan got about one eighth of Buhari’s 885,988 votes. In Kaduna, despite the presence of Namadi Sambo, Buhari got 1.1 million votes. Jonathan earned 484, 000. Not too shabby. In Kebbi Jonathan earned less than one fifth (100,972) of Buhari’s 567883.
In Buhari’s own Katsina, voters didn’t honour Jonathan with even 10% (98,937) of Buhari’s 1, 345, 441. In Sokoto, Jonathan, 152,000; Buhari, 672,000. In Zamfara, Jonathan, 145,000; Buhari, 612,000.
What has changed?
A couple of days ago, I listened to a debate on VOA Hausa between someone from the Buhari Campaign Organisation and someone from the PDP. I do not want to mention their names.
The PDP guy challenged his opponent to mention projects done by President Buhari, whereby the APC guy said he should go and google the answer. I found that response strange. It could create an impression that the president did nothing. But even I who is not mandated to speak for the party can mention truckloads of impactful projects done by Buhari.
In the North alone, here are a few: Abuja Kano road, Kano-Maiduguri road, Yola-Mubi road, the fact that rice production has increased tremendously, fertilizer production too has increased because of the Presidential Initiative on fertilizer to the extent that we are now exporting to countries like Brazil.
However, in the north, especially Northwest, most of Northeast and Niger State, it doesn’t matter whether Buhari performs or not. His support base remains intact.
Verdict
Buhari will win Northwest again. But unlike Jonathan, Atiku will do well too getting up to 30% of the votes because of Atiku’s own network and the presence of Sule Lamido, Shema, Tambuwal, Senator Kwankwaso, Senator Galaudu and so forth.
Confidence of prediction
80%
Southwest
The situation in 2015
There is this belief in the north that south-westerners prefer to elect any southerner over any northerner as president.
So how did Buhari win the region?
By 2015, it was apparent that President Jonathan had relegated the Yorubas – refusing to give them any prominent political appointment.
Also, many parties merged to form APC. And the biggest party in that partnership was ACN – a Yoruba party. Therefore, the Yorubas must deliver their region; and they did – but not by much.
These were the main reasons why APC won. Yet, President Jonathan gave a good fight, winning Ekiti and losing Ondo to Buhari by only about 50,000 votes.
Indeed, the highest votes Buhari got was in Oyo where he got 225,244 more votes than Jonathan.
In Lagos State, Tinubu’s home, he only had 160,133 votes more than Jonathan (Buhari, 792460; Jonathan, 632,327).
What has changed?
Nothing – at least in perception. Although there’s this perception that Buhari concentrated “juicy” appointments in the West and planted many important capital projects there – even finishing a rail project. Yet, there are many emotions that would work against Buhari. And in elections, emotions trump reason.
Even the fact that APC has a Yoruba running mate against PDP’s Igbo wouldn’t make much difference.
It could be argued that both PDP and APC have candidates who are over 70, northerner and Muslim. But the perception is that Atiku is less of those things. People in the south also believe that Buhari is clannish. Therefore, where they can’t find a southerner, Yorubas are likely to choose someone who is the lesser northerner.
Verdict
Buhari will win southwest but only by the whiskers. The result will be almost 50 – 50.
Confidence of prediction
I’m 80% confident that this prediction will come true.
North central
The Situation In 2015
Niger State was the only state in the North central where Buhari got 80% of the votes. But Niger State is geographically and culturally similar to Northwest.
Saraki and Company delivered Kwara. George Akume delivered Benue against the prediction of many of us. Jonathan won Plateau and Nasarawa as has become the tradition. Buhari also won Kogi.
What has changed?
We now have an APC governor in Plateau, Kogi and Niger. But Akume remains in Benue. And I’m told, he still carries a lot of influence. Everyone who matters in Nasarawa politics has joined APC.
Verdict
Buhari will win Kwara in spite of Saraki and Niger. Benue, Kogi and Nasarawa will be a toss up. PDP will win Plateau. You see why I said Niger is not like the others in the region?
Confidence of prediction
60%
Conclusion
The 2019 presidential election is difficult to call. But while Buhari won 2015 election by 8%, Atiku will reduce the gap. I predict that Buhari will win by 5%.

Those that understand The Yoruba's and the dynamics of Nigerian politics will not be surprised...I trust the Yoruba's.Power must change in 2023..not negotiable.

BIG NEWS! How Yoruba Groups Stunned PDP As They Gave APC’s Buhari Massive Game-Changing Endorsements Just Before The Election

BIG NEWS! How Yoruba Groups Stunned PDP As They Gave APC’s Buhari Massive Game-Changing Endorsements Just Before The Election
More groups have declared massive support for President Muhammadu Buhari in the coming presidential election.

According to PM News, twenty five Yoruba socio-cultural and political groups have called out their 20 million voters across South West states, Kogi, Kwara and Delta states, not only to vote on Saturday, but to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.


The groups in an advertisement in TheNation on Thursday directed all the Yoruba in the states to come out “in large numbers to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and his VP Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who is one of our own come February 23. The mountains shall depart and the hills removed”.

In the advertisement titled ‘Wake Up’, the groups said they took their ‘firm decision’ to back Buhari “after exhaustive consultations with Yoruba farmers, artisans, workers, haves and have nots, people in the valleys, mountains, villages and homestead, toiling market women, children, the old and the young.

“We fully support President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a professor of law, who has over the years built a credible reputation for himself, leading a clergy life of piety, truth, trust and humanitarian affection and based on our exhaustive deliberations with him which began in the past six months on what he has in stock for the Yoruba nation and peoples”.

The groups also said they are convinced that Buhari-Osinbajo ticket offers hope in place of despair and commitment to many of the political values that are crucial for the survival of Yoruba peoples across the world.

The groups responded to the opposition’s campaign programme of restructuring, with which it has wooed some Yoruba elements. They said the APC also has restructuring in its manifesto.

“It has set up a committee and a bill in the offing , so the party can be held responsible on a documented expectation. We also trust the integrity of the two men at the helms more than we do of the main contender.


They warned: “Yoruba should not hang her hope on castles built in the sky where loose promises of restructuring are being made in the SW, but a complete negation of restructuring comes forth from their caustic lips when they are in the North. This is treacherous but in line with their past and present”.

The signatories of the clarion call are Adesope Oludare for Reformed Oodua Peoples Congress, Omoshola Omoshebi, Oodua Revolutionary Movement, Akintunde Akinsola, United Pan Yoruba Congress, Ijagbemi Folorunso, Alliance of Yoruba Vigilante Groups, Isaack Ajatiton, Itsekiri, Razak Arogundade, Oodua Peoples Congress (New Era) and Wale Alabi of Oodua Renaissance.


Among other signatories were: Diran Obalola, Ibile Movement, Wale `Balogun, Yoruba Revolutionary Movement, Gbenga Soloki, Yoruba Media Forum, Goke Otunla, Network for Yoruba Alliance, Abgeteyiniro Teyinmi, Itsekiri National Youth Council, Taiwo Otitolaye, Okun United Congress, Aare Kunle Oshodi, Agbekoya.

In the run up to the elections initially slated for 16 February, the umbrella Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere at a ceremony in Ibadan on 29 January also endorsed Buhari-Osinbajo ticket.

SMUTHKAY:
The re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday received a significant boost with his endorsement by the immediate Ondo State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and a former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala.

Impeccable sources disclosed that the two South West political forces made have at different fora directed their supporters to troop out en masse on Saturday, February 23 to cast their vote for President Buhari as a measure to take Nigeria to the ‘Next Level’, in line with the campaign slogan of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Although not an APC member, Mimiko who had previously eyed Buhari’s seat on the platform of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) said Buhari remained the surest path for Nigeria to regain its greaatness through genuine and visible infrastructural development and reduce corruption.

He enjoined his supporters to leave nothing to chances by showing aparthy during the Saturday presidential election which he admonished them to give to the All progressives Congress (APC)’s presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.

Meanwhile in Ogbomoso, the former Oyo State govenor said his decision to back the incumbent APC government to remain in power at the central was borne out of his belief that the Buhari meant well for the country.

Akala, a former chieftain of the APC and governorship candidate of the African Democratic Party (ADP) in the state stated that he remained convinced that no other leader has the vision and patriotism to pull Nigeria from the brink of collapse today like Buhari.

He therefore appealed to his supporters vote in the Saturday elections as a display of patriotism and only way to guarantee a formidable future for them and the coming generations.

Akala who fell out with the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi over political differences leading to the removal of his son, Olamiju as the chairman of Ogbomoso North local government said that would not deter him from making the right decisions.
The Ogbomoso-born politician stated that his personal differences with the governor would not undermine in any way, his love for the President or his commitment to see his retain his job

Voters in Buni yadi, the headquarters of Gujba local government area of Yobe State, have threatened to boycott elections as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, relocated voting to Damaturu, the Yobe state capital.

Last Sunday, Boko Haram militants launched an attack on military brigade in Buni yadi, killing an officer and 3 soldiers before they were neutralised by the military.

Speaking to Daily Trust on Friday, aggrieved electorate claimed that INEC’s decision was motivated by elites that had refused to return to their ancestral homes.

INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state Alhaji Ahmad Makama told our correspondent that the voting areas were relocated to Damaturu after a careful security considerations by heads of security, INEC and all other stakeholders in the council.

“The securities had declared the area unsafe for the election. So safety of live is not guaranteed and we cannot expose our men and materials to any insecurity. That is why we relocated them to Damaturu,” he said.

Alhaji Lawan Garin Goni, the Sarkin Malamai of Buni yadi, said the relocation of the centres to Damaturu would disenfranchise not less than 70 percent voters in the town.

He said that many people said they would not leave their families behind to travel and cast their votes in Damaturu.

“I have not less than thirty registered voters under me. Now only me would go and vote, my wives and students that are eligible voters will not go as far as Damaturu to vote. That would be the problem in every household, ” he said.

Mamman Sarkin Fawa, said that electorate in the town were enthusiastic about the election until the late evening’s announcement.

“As community leader, I must go and vote, but I want to assured you that 90 percent would not vote this time around because people here are looking for money to feed, let alone transporting themselves to Damaturu for election,” he explained.

A 48-year-old man has reportedly gone into hiding after allegedly raping a 6-year-old girl in an uncompleted building in Ogboji, Orumba South LGA, Anambra State.

The suspect identified as Mr. Chikaodi Unanah (a married man with two kids) allegedly lured the underage girl named Onyinyechukwu - into the building where he removed her pant and penetrated.

It was gathered that little Onyinyechukwu cried to her house after the act and her grandmother discovered that she was raped before rushing her to a government owned health centre in the area.

According to human rights activist Gwamnishu Emefiena Harrison, the suspect has gone into hiding to evade arrest and only one Mr. Nwike Ofoezie knows his whereabouts. It was also revealed that he paid N10,000 and pleaded with Onyinyechukwu's grandmother to let the issue die.

The wife of the president Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has asked Nigerians as they go to the polls on Saturday, to decide whether the poor should become poorer and the rich richer or a society where the gap begins to be reduced.

She stated this on Thursday while presenting empowerment packs to 1,250 women and youths from the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.

In a statement by her media adviser Adebisi, Olumide Ajayi, quoted Mrs. Buhari, as saying that poverty is one of the indices that encourage people to embrace vices like terrorism, kidnapping, and begging.

Earlier, the Director-General, National Directorate of Employment (NDE) Dr. Nasir, Mohammed Argungu, disclosed since 2014, the revenue allocation to the agency had not changed.

However, the agency was able to train 861,234 women and youths from 2015 to date, compared to 4,832 trained in 2014/15

The programme was organised by NDE in collaboration with The Future Assured initiative of the wife of the president and Defence and Police officers Wives Association (DEPOWA)

The beneficiaries who were drawn from the six local government areas of Abuja went home with cosmetology-starter packs worth N40.000 cash.

He has indirectly registered his profession in the sub-conscious mind of this child without thinking of the psychological damage this would cause. Please for the love of God, let children be children.

Sen. Magnus Abe has said he will approach the Supreme Court for a final resolution of the party’s legal problems in presenting governorship and state Assembly candidates for the elections.

Abe spoke while reacting to the striking out of his application by the Appeal court in Port Harcourt.

He said that he would do what he could to get judgment from the Supreme Court before the governorship and State Assembly elections on March 9.

“We have approached the Court of Appeal to help resolve the logjam arising out of the current situation in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers. As you will recollect, there is a voided indirect primaries that was conducted here in the state, which has been declared void up to Supreme Court.

” There was a direct primary that was conducted by the state chapter of the party which the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refused to accept because of the party’s insistence on sticking by the illegal conduct of the primaries.

“So we had approached the Federal High Court for a resolution of that matter and today we were before the Appeal Court for a review of the decision of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal surprisingly refused to go into the merits of the case, holding that the case was covered by the decision of the Supreme Court in respect of the earlier case against the conduct of the indirect primaries.

“We believe that is not the sum of the judgment of the Supreme Court and so in consultation with our lawyers, we have asked them to approach the Supreme Court for a final resolution of that matter.

“Unfortunately, we are now fighting hard because time is fast running out for the legal options that are available to us. So we will do what we can to get the Supreme Court consider the matter before the rest of the elections are held here in the state,” he said.

Abe said that the crisis in the party does not affect the presidential election.

“We just addressed some of our youths, non-indigenes, some major stakeholders and our objective is to see that there is effective mobilisation of people to come out on Saturday to vote for the President, despite some challenges that we have faced internally in the party.

“We are working on that and we are getting positive responses from Rivers people and we believe that they will come out en-masse to vote for the president,” the senator stated.

Abe also stated that the Mr President’s order to the security agents to deal with those who want to disrupt the election and snatch ballot boxes was a very re-assuring statement for the safety of the country’s democracy and the safety of all Nigerians as they go out to vote during the general elections.

Akosxxx:
With barely 48 hours left before Nigeria’s general elections begin, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yobe state, Sani Inuwa Nguru, has decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC).


This was revealed by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital Media, Tolu Ogunlesi.
According to Ogunlesi, Nguru met with Buhari on Thursday before confirming his decision to the State House Press Corps.



“JUST IN: Current Chairman of the PDP in Yobe State, Sani Inuwa Nguru, has just defected to the APC.
“He just finished an interview with State House Press Corps, after meeting with President @MBuhari #AsoVillaToday,” Ogunlesi tweeted.

If God is truly a Nigerian. PMB will win on Saturday.

tuniski:
Thanks anyway, but why will apc suddenly be courting the 5percentile that they spent 4yrs dismissing as insignificant, why?

. Permit me to say that in 2015 South East did not vote APC but it won.From all indications same may repeat itself on Saturday.My own opinion is If south east works with south west it will add more voice to Igbo presidency in 2023....If South west woos South east that means South east is important.Is it not important that south east also team us with south west too for Igbo presidency in 2023.?

PresidoAtikuGcf:
There is unity now among Igbos my brother and this election will prove it to you, forget the Governors and elites, they have always represented their pockets and selfish ambitions.

Atiku and Obi will have 90% of the votes in the SE, quote me anywhere.

Your view is noted ...Goodluck to the South East south west and the North on Saturday. Will South West not vote massively for APC on Saturday? Time will tell on realities soon.Will they not try to ensure victory for APC because of their calculations? My bro Nigerian politics has changed.No isolated politics again.Teaming with other regions is the game plan for relevance in the country.

tuniski:
They must not vote for Buhari. Infact, voting for buhari will mean they ain't strategic. But follow follow! They must maintain a consistent voting bloc win or lose , that way they remain relevant as a political bloc. The truth is; only a national party as pdp can guarantee the igbos presidency certainly not apc that is an ethno-religious conflagration of conservative north and tinubu's Yorubas.


Anyone, asking igbos to suddenly start voting buhari is mischievous, naive or confused. There is pride in being opposition just remain focused.

Anyway, with a massive turnout of igbos across the country and voting in bloc for atiku/Obi together with the rest of nigerians, victory is sure on saturday for pdp.

. Your view and opinion just as they were in 2015 are noted and respected.... Goodluck to the South East in their plan .Goodluck to the North and South west in their aspirations.... Time will tell on realities soon.

Investbrooker:
Ibos won't rule Nigeria. You want Biafra, Biafra you will surely get

. I wonder sincerity and actualisation of Biafra for them.KANU himself unlike Ochckwu will run away at the hear of gunshots..... I want a Nigeria where all tribes will be relevant. But I don't see unity in the Igbos. They betray one another with caucuses and groups .They have forgotten that Nigerian politics has changed since 1999.Any tribe that is lacking behind is the architect of its condition.

tuniski:
They are ready It is up to nigeria to allow them by issuing them ticket of the major parties.

It is immaterial their voting pattern.

. My bro I appreciate you. They need to strategise They did not vote Buhari on 2015...Buhari won. if Buhari wins on Saturday without them will it be easy to have Igbo presidency in 2023?That is why Okorocha Kalu u etc are shouting now because of the implication of what may happen. Yourubas are after power shift in 2023 they caanot wait till another 8 years before it is shifted. In my opinion only the child that spreads his hand will be carried by his Father. Igbos should team with South west now so that they will work together for 2023 presidency. However if they are moving backward and forward as they are doing now by 2023 Oh My God ...it will be another frustration for the region.

gidgiddy:
All that is nonsense. If Nigeria is all about sectional interests then why are we together? Who is looking out for the Nigerian interest? People are shouting 'Igbo President 2023' but those who have had this same Presidency in the past don't have anything to show for it.

. Your view is noted and respected.

gidgiddy:
How do the Hausa and Yoruba nation know what they are doing? Because they have held high office before? Is that what Lugard brought us together for? To be fighting over political positions? Then there is no point to "one Nigeria"

. My brother ....Nigeria is a country with different interests. Since 1999 we now have modern Nigeria where every Nation in Nigeria needs relevance and fights for position. It is our turn policy is the motto in tje Nigeria politics.it does not have to be in constitution but it is pivotal to our continuous existence as a nation.Why was Jonathan removed ? He was using North tenure simply.Why were Hausa's happy when Buhari came? It was their turn again. That is why people like Okorocha Kalu Orji and others are trying yo ensure that Igbos are united so that they will have a say in 2023.If they do their homework well and pally south west..it is possible. But are Igbo's serious about it? Regrettably I don't think so.

A group of witches yesterday organised a mini rally after visiting the residents of Okene in Kogi State ahead of the Saturday's elections.

The witches came who endorsed president Muhammadu Buhari for his strides in fighting Boko Haram and other crimes in the country said; “Vote for Buhari or we will come for you with everything we have including death”

They also instructed the residents of Okene to vote for anybody governor Yahaya Bello approves because the voice of Bello is the voice of God.

Watch the video below.
