SillyMods:
Self deceit.

The north has once again proved that it is not about party for them but about the leaders. If PMB raises anyone's hands in the North in 2023, the person will win there.

But he raised the hand of Ganduje and Bindow of Adamawa?

SillyMods:
See childishness displayed at every small opportunity.

If anything, the "illiterate north" have once again proved to be more politically savvy than the so-called "educated south" in these elections.

In Kano, the people voted overwhelmingly for PMB in the presidential election for his sterling qualities. The same people are speaking differently to Ganduje.

In Sokoto, PMB won effortlessly but have now rejected the APC governor.

In the South, SE and SS especially, we continuously see poor governance from Abia to Rivers to Delta states, yet the "educated and sophisticated people" will rather die to see a more qualified person win there just because he belongs in another party.

By "more qualified person" you mean Amaechi's puppet? Anyway, the dollar bribe video was the bane of Ganduje, besides that, in my opinion, he is one the best performing governors in Nigeria.

EdoBozz:
Point of correction, APC had no candidate in Rivers state for governorship. The battle is BTW PDP and AAC or so.

But APC endorsed the AAC you are talking about

SantiRAMBO:
Walahi!!! Wike never expected this
He's sure in panic mood. Lol
He's lucky APC ain't in the ballot. It would've been game over for him

Game over how? Can APC have the majority of votes in a state election in Rivers state? Even Buhari didn't win Rivers state in the last election, so which "game over" are you talking about?

The worst election so far.

The NJC didn't see the blatant unprofessional and evil act by the the so-called judge of the Kano state High Court who was obviously compromised by giving a fraudulent "judgment" preventing the Kano State House of Assembly from performing their constitutional duty of making the governor account for his looting.

A non-governmental organisation, Human and Environmental Development Agenda, has filed a suit to compel the Chief Justice of Nigeria to probe the bribery allegation against Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State.

HEDA said it resorted to suing the CJN after a Kano State High Court halted Ganduje’s probe by the Kano State House of Assembly.


HEDA’s Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, said in a statement on Thursday that the group is seeking an order of mandamus against the CJN in relation to Ganduje’s probe.

He said the suit, which HEDA filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja, had already been assigned to a judge, who had fixed March 21 for hearing.

He said HEDA sought “an order granting leave to it to apply for a judicial review to seek an order directing the Chief Justice of Nigeria to investigate the allegations against Ganduje based on Section 52 of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission Act 2000 (as amended).”


HEDA wants the court to compel the CJN to appoint an independent counsel to “investigate the grave allegations against the Kano State Governor.”

Suraju said HEDA decided to sue the CJN after a letter it wrote requesting Ganduje’s probe was ignored.

A journalist, Jafaar Jafaar, had last year released a series of video clips online, wherein Ganduje was allegedly shown taking American dollar bills from a contractor and stuffing same into the pocket of his clothes.

The Kano State House of Assembly had initiated a probe to ascertain the veracity of the video clips, but a Kano State High Court made an order, halting the probe

Hmm

It seems Buhari and APC have long perfected the plan to perpetrate themselves in power.

How? By refusing to sign the electoral amendment bill which would have made it mandatory for card readers to be used, otherwise the election would be repeated.

Why did he refuse to sign? It was a strategic master plan to make sure card readers were slow or do not work in the Southern parts of the country to frustrate the people and subsequently disenfranchise as many as possible, to reduce the voting strengths of the South. Where the plan couldn't work, they resorted to violence to make sure many votes were cancelled in the Southern Nigeria.

The same army that held an INEC staff hostage in the same Portharcourt in a bid to force her to falsify results, based on this thread on the front page - https://www.nairaland.com/5048124/how-soldiers-scattered-collation-results.
Truly, GEJ was the last democrat Nigeria had as a president. Now they are arresting people who, maybe, disrupted their interference in the election or didn't co-operate with them.
Africa is still 100 years behind in civilization.

For the people shouting Atiku should call Buhari and congratulate him, GEJ did that because he knew he conducted an election that was free and fair and didn't use his position as the Commander-in-Chief to manipulate elections in Buhari's strongholds. Now, the same can't be said about this election.

There was a serious drama at the 6 Division of
the Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, on Tuesday,
as a group of persons arrested for alleged
involvement in election malpractice in
Saturday’s polls publicly kicked against the
action of the Army.
The group of persons, including the Rivers State
Commissioner for Urban Development, Reason
Onyia; and some INEC ad hoc staff, maintained
that the Army lied against them.
Other suspects — a soldier identified as Major
Ubah and a Police officer, Owen, who was said
to be the camp commandant of Government
House in Port Harcourt — stood their ground
that it was wrong for Army to parade them as
criminals.
The Deputy Director, Army Public Relations,
Col. Aminu Iliyasu, was speaking on the alleged
offences of the suspects when Onyia and others
cried that the allegations of election
malpractices against them were false.
The drama, which was beamed on a national
television station, also saw the Army accusing
the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, of
trying to compromise the Army.
Governor Wike and some ad hoc staff of INEC
had earlier accused the Army of intimidation
and disruption of Saturday’s elections in Rivers
State.

BadBradley:
INEC is deliberately withholding SE, SW and NC because it's being rigged.

I wonder why the results of those areas are not out already

seanfer:
In Yobe State APC is leading PDP with 420,000 Votes and 1 LGA remaining..... Katsina is going to be like 1 million and Kano maybe 1 million also

This is funny. Atiku has already won several local governments in Kano out of the one counted. The margin between them is not much. Go and check the results, don't deceive yourself.

JubiOmeiza:
ThankGod u use d word 'might'
The margin in delta can't be more than 100k.

Forget Kano, Other states like Kebbi, gombe, yobe, katsina,
borno, Kaduna will send Atiku to Coma

Which kano? The kano Atiku has won several local governments already? Go and check the margin between Buhari and Atiku there, even in Kaduna, not much at all.

anigbajumo:
Which NC abeg??

Even no margin of PDP defeat APC with 500k in any state in SS,if yes show me abeg...

And where have you seen a margin of APC defeat PDP with 500k in NW. Post it here.

simpleseyi:
In NC, Buhari already won Kwara, Niger and Nassarawa. So, redo your calculation.

Show your Nasarawa results here

This is serious. Ondo and Oyo states seem to be for Atiku in the Southwest already. This is getting Interesting as Atiku is pulling force in the North also. I think Southsouth, Southeast and Northcentral would give the victory to Atiku

Just look at the performance of PDP at the local governments they won. Even where Buhari won, Atiku still did really well.
Atiku is really pulling surprises in the North. This is a surprise. Kaduna supposed to be Buhari's stronghold
Southern Kaduna has not arrived.
No wonder PDP asked INEC to declare Atiku winner already.

This Delta result might just nullify kano because Atiku is doing so well in the North.
Meanwhile, majority of results released so far have been in APC strongholds and Atiku has done well surprisingly. Atiku has won Ondo in the SW. By the time SS, SE and NC start coming in, we should have an idea how far.

Ike Ekweremadu, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate and deputy senate president has been declared winner of Enugu West Senatorial District for the fifth time in Saturday Presidential/National Assembly elections. Ekweremadu polled 86,088 votes to defeat his closest rival, Mrs Juliet Ibekaku-Nwagwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 15,187 votes. The Returning Officer, Prof Douglas Nwagbo of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) announced the results in Awgu on Sunday. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that with the victory, Ekweremadu holds the senatorial mandate for the 5th time. Reacting to the development, the deputy senate president said he was humbled by the result because it was the first time a senator would be voted the fifth time in Nigeria. He applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission for the smooth and peaceful conduct of the elections. (NAN)

I guess it's pay back time for APC by the Epe people for denying their son, Ambode, a second term. They have responded through their votes. The bullion van money was resisted I guess.

Presidential Candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has won the election in Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State ward in Epe, polling 2,511 votes to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari of APC, who got 2,367 votes. Mr Adelaja Odukoya, the INEC Collation Officer, announced the results at INEC collation centre, Iraye, Epe, on Sunday. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ambode was able to win his Polling Unit 033, Ogunmodede College in Ajaganabe Area, Ward A5, Epe, where APC polled 131 votes as against PDP who got 116 votes. Also, the PDP Senatorial Candidate, Abiodun Oyefusi, defeated the APC Candidate, Bayo Oshinowo, by 71 votes, with PDP polling 2,557 votes, while APC had 2,488 votes. The PDP candidate for the House of Representatives, Oye Ayantuga, got 2,597 votes, while Wale Raji of APC polled 2,438 votes. At Ward 2, Epe, all the PDP candidates also defeated their APC counterparts. Announcing the results, INEC Collation Officer, Mr Samsideen Jagbojagbo, said Atiku of PDP polled 1,044 votes, while President Buhari of APC had 824 votes. The PDP Senatorial Candidate, Abiodun Oyefusi, got 1,087 as against Bayo Oshinowo of APC, who polled 935. Oye Ayantuga, the PDP Candidate for House of Representatives, polled 1,023 votes while his counterpart, Wale Raji, had 855 votes. (NAN)

NaijaRoyalty:
Will El Rufai mock his deputy too for losing his unit to PDP ?

Not unit. It is ward. Ward is the aggregate of units together.

helinues:
Ekiti senatorial North and South cleared by Apc

Ekiti and Osun are their hopes in SW but it seems like reverse is the case

Go and check Oyo and Ondo results

Oblongata:
just edit and stop all these stories

I guess you might have to do it yourself. Stop giving yourself headache.

awelekiti:
Exactly. He doesn't need to win much states in those 2 regions remaining. But he needs to secure the constitutionally allowable votes which is certain, with the results seen so far. In my opinion, if all what vanguard, dailypost, premiumtimes and daily post have reported so far, excluding the nairalander postings, atiku has won the 3 zones clearly, namely south east, south south and north central with some states in the south west. He also did well in states where he lost to Buhari in the region because the margin was slim. My prediction on Borno election came to pass as boko haram prevented many from coming out to vote, yobe too and those 2 states are Buhari strongholds. It's unlikely he records the kinds of figures he got in 2015 in the 2 states. I learnt Taraba and adamawa went for Atiku but it's not yet confirmed, bauchi too. I wish I could vote Buhari this time as i did 4 years ago . It's my choice even if Atiku loses, whichbis unlikely, indent care . That's democracy . We dont all have to support a particular candidate.

Well said. Looks like Atiku would win Ondo state in the Southwest but Buhari might have won Ekiti state. Those are the two states in the Southwest whose results look to have been decided so far. Atiku is doing so well in Oyo state too, looks like he's leading there. These are places where Jonathan lost heavily in 2015.
