Kindly share this story:


Suspected political thugs on Saturday disrupted the coalition of results of the primary election of the All Progressives Congress for the governorship election in Edo State.

The results being collated at Lushville Hotel and Suite, in GRA, Benin, was beamed live on television.

Results from eight local hovernment areas had already been announced when journalists covering the event were alerted to vacate the centre of the event.

Before journalists could gather their things together, the thugs swooped on the venue after overpowering the police operatives at the gate.


Several journalists, including an NTA cameraman and FRCN reporter, were manhandled and their equipment scattered.

The presence of the state Commissioner of Police, Funsho Adeboye, who was present with the officials of the party at the centre did not deter the hoodlums from engaging in the free-for-all.

At the time of filling this report, it was not yet clear what went wrong.


Results announced before the disruption:

Breaking!

House Of Reps Member Dies!

House of Representatives member, Anthony Madwatte, representing Numan, Lamurde, Demsa Federal Constituency, Adamawa State is dead!

Embattled National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, on
Wednesday resigned from his position.
This was confirmed to The PUNCH by the
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Alhaji Abdullahi Jalo, in a telephone
interview.
Jalo said, “It is true, Mu’azu has resigned. I can
confirm this to you, he resigned today.”
He however declined further comments.

www.punchng.com/news/muazu-resigns-as-pdp-chairman/

Maku, instead of u to manage the portfolio wey GEJ give u before u bellyfull, u run away thinking say PDP no dey see u abi? So na the small money wey u hamma nai u still go throw wey so... U wan contest with a whole Al-M.... Wey even Jonathan no fit impeach. Oh! Na the people wey advice u to run for governorship seat nai chop ur money... Go rest for the main time or u contest as a town crier, u fit win...

I guess the Power-Pack of the PDP to win in the presidential and NASS elections was that the money came from the Federal government. Now they found out that the Federal is been crushed by APC. Since that is the case, no one want to waste his/her won money for elections since their source of money had been overtaken by APC. Then still wise o!

Like electoral Tsunami, Governor Ibrahim lost
to APC in his Ward in his hometown in
Dutsinma.
But the results of the governorship poll might
be delayed because INEC has postponed the
conduct of gubernatorial and State House of
Assembly elections in Danmusa LGA.
INEC vehicles were attacked by suspected thugs
and election materials hijacked.
As at press time, PDP was yet to win in any
polling unit in Sokoto State in all the results so
far declared making it a likely landslide for
Speaker Aminu Tambuwal.
Desperate to cast her vote for APC candidate, a
50-year old woman, YarbabaYusuf Babangida
died at Kofar Gidan Salisu Maska Polling Unit in
Funtua Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The APC and PDP were running a close race .
Some of the results from the Polling Units
indicated that the APC governorship candidate,
Rochas Okorocha was leading in Njaba,
Nkwerre, Onuimo, Okigwe, Owerri North,
Owerri Municipal, Owerri West, Ideato South
and Ideato North Local Government Areas
while the PDP governorship candidate, Emeka
Ihedioha, was ahead in Aboh-Mbaise, Ahiazu-
Mbaise, Ezinihitte, Oguta, Ohaji-Egbema.
The early results showed that both candidates
won in their party’s strongholds.
PDP’s Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi was leading in Enugu
state.
More results are being awaited.

It was the same song for the APC in all the local
governments in Kano where Deputy Governor
Umar Ganduje defeated the PDP candidate,
Yusuf Takai in the results of the polling units so
far declared.
Some of the results are as follows: Sumaila
Gala ward 006 (APC 197, PDP 3)
Dala Kofar ward 024 APC 61, PDP 13); Dala
Dogon Nama ward (APC 386, PDP 185)
005 Booth (APC 222, PDP 54); Nassarawa Tudun
Murtala (APC 155, PDP 39)
Warawa LG Kadawa 004 (APC 177, PDP 79);
005booth (APC 161, PDP 57).
The APC candidate in Niger State, Abubakar
Sani Bello was ahead of PDP’s Umar Gado
Nasko in most polling units in Chanchaga,
Bida, Shiroro, Magama, Kontagora, Borgu,
Rijau, Rafi and Suleja Local Government Areas.
The APC candidate was equally coasting home
to victory in Lapai, Tafa, Edati, Lavun and
Mokwa local government areas of the state.
In Taraba State, a former Minister of Niger
Delta Affairs, Arc. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) was leading in nine
Local Government Areas last night.
Ishaku sprang a surprise by forging ahead of
APC candidate, Sen. Aishat Alhassan, in her
opponents stronghold in Jalingo.
Ishaku was leading in Wukari,Taken, Dunga,
Ussa, Karim-Lamido ,Yorro, Zing, Kuremi and
Jalingo.
A governorship candidate in Adamawa State
last night gave an insight into the contest in
Adamawa State.
He admitted that it was apparent that APC
candidate, Sen. Jibrilla Bindow was leading.
He said: “Alhamdulilahi, we participated in the
elections and remained consistent without
abandoning our mandate half way.
“From initial results, it is clear APC will form
the next government in Adamawa State.”
It was a comfortable lead for Governor Kashim
Shettima in Borno State against PDP’s Gambo
Lawan.
The PDP candidate lost his polling unit in
Mobbar Local Government Area of northern
Borno State to APC.
While Governor Shettima secured 118 votes,
Lawan got 9 votes at Kareto Dispensary PU of
Kareto Ward.
Shettima however delivered his polling unit to
the APC when he polled 196 votes at
Shettimari Polling Unit in Lawan Bukar,
Lamisula Ward, where the Governor voted near
his late father’s house in Maiduguri. His main
challenger, Gambo Lawan of the PDP got zero.
Governor Abdulfatahi Ahmed had a calm day as
he floored the PDP candidate, Sen. Simeon
Sule Ajibola in Kwara Central Senatorial
District, especially Ilorin Emirate with huge
voting population.
Some of the results are Ajikobi Ward Polling
Unit 006( APC: 291, PDP:56);
Unit 005( APC: 297, PDP:24); Alanamu Ward PU
24( APC:194, PDP: 60).
The governor was also ahead in most polling
units in Kwara North and most parts of Kwara
South including his Ifelodun Local Government
Area of the state.
A major upset was recorded in Benue State
where the APC candidate, Samuel Ortom
defeated the PDP rival, Termhen Tazoor at the
Polling Unit in Government House, Makurdi by
garnering 145 votes to PDP’s 119.
Ortom was also in the lead in most results
from Makurdi, Guma, Otukpo, Kwande,
Ushongo, Gboko, Buruku, Konshisha, Oju and
Tarka Local Government Areas.
For ex-Speaker Aminu Masari, it was an easy
ride over PDP’s candidate, Engr. Nashuni in
most Local Government Areas of Katsina State.

For Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State it is
history in the making after appearing to break
the jinx of a second term in the state.
As at last night, he was ahead of his opponents
–Accord Party’s Rasheed Ladoja, Labour Party’s
Alao-Akala -in most parts of the state.
Seeing the handing writing on the wall the PDP
candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin went on air
to concede defeat.
He promised to congratulate the winner once
INEC confirms the result.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State was
also on course sweeping most of the votes in
Ogun West and Central. The PDP performed
better in Ogun East especially in Remo and
Ijebu North.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Aminu Waziri Tambuwal who flew the APC flag
in Sokoto was in early lead as were Mallam
Nasir el’Rufai (Kaduna),Dr.Umar Ganguje
(Kano),Alhaji Aminu Masari (Katsina), Alhaji
Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara),Governor Kashim
Shettima (Borno), Alhaji , Abubakar Sani Bello
(Niger),Mr. Samuel Ortom (Benue) and Senator
Jibrilla Bindow (Adamawa)
The voting pattern is a reflection of the
outcome of the March 28 Presidential Election
which was won by the party’s candidate,
General Muhammadu Buhari
Although the two leading candidates in Kaduna
state, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and Governor
Ramalan Yero won in their polling units, the
APC candidate (el-Rufai) was clearly ahead in
the results of most of the Polling Units
declared by the Independent National Electoral
Commission(INEC).
While el-Rufai polled 360 votes against PDP’s
Yero 42 votes at his polling unit 024, Ungwar
Sarki, Yero also won at his Kaura polling unit in
Zaria city with 304 votes against El-Rufai’s 192
votes.

Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the APC governorship
candidate in Lagos State took a commanding
lead, brushing aside Mr. Jimi Agbaje of the PDP
who failed in his polling unit.
Early results include the followings: Lagos State
All Progressives Congress (APC) was in early
lead at the yesterday’s governorship and House
of Assembly elections in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo
states.
According to unofficial polls result, APC was
leading in over 15 of the 20 local governments.
In five councils, the APC and Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) were appeared to be
running neck to neck.
The polls were relatively peaceful, although the
exercise was generally marred by low turnout
of voters.

With APC taking over several states, they really done well making PDP going to a dry stream...

Try and vote massively for your chosen FIRST LADY!

Buhari keeps flooring Jonathan.... One Northern state is equal to 3 states in SS or SE.................

@Edmomd, i hail you............................. Sai Buhari.

Election 2015 math: Change 101:

Wait for the official results to be announced by Jega. Matter of fact, waiting for this is not optional. But nothing stops you from doing your own permutation and combination in the interim.

Here is one analysis shared by one Abubakar Widi-jalo:

OK LETS DO GWARI-GWARI

We have six zones in Nigeria

APC is leading clearly in the South West,Noth West and North East...

PDP are expected to win in South-East and South-South
Let's say the North-Central is the battle ground zone,they are six states in the zone.

Kwara,Kogi,Niger,Nasarawa,Benue and Platue...
APC is winning 3 Kwara,Kogi and Niger

While PDP is wining 3 Platue,Nasarawa and Benue(not sure of Bunue)

This simple means APC and PDP have cancelled each other in North-Central

Now this is what is going to happen..

Sokoto votes will cancel Ebonyi votes

Kebbi votes will cancel Enugu votes

Zamfara votes will nolify Imo votes

Kaduna votes will cancel Abia votes

Jigawa votes will cancel Anambra state

Yobe will cancel out Bayelsa

Borno will cancel out Akwa-Ibom

Adamawa will cancel out Cross rivers

Katsina will cancel out Rivers

Kano will cancel out Edo and Delta

Ondo will give Ekiti upper cut

This will leave us with Lagos,Oyo,Ogun and Osun singing victory songs...
Change has come to Nigeria !"

The weeping with broom no bi small thing o!

Big lie....
