Elections were peaceful in the entire north apart from Dekina LGA in Kogi state, so they had very few cancelled votes.

We in the South claim to be more educated but thuggery and violence from the political class are always part of our elections.
Every time there's election in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and sometimes AkwaIbom, people must die. So let's not blame INEC for the almost 1m cancelled votes in Rivers, let's blame ourselves.
If PDP wants the over 1 million cancelled votes, INEC can dash them.

The good news is that both our national treasury and NNPC are safe for another 4 years.

Finally! What a slim margin.

Ajimobi being on the ballot is the reason APC didn't win Oyo and also lost a Senate seat to the PDP.
His people are angry with him.

Anyways, 4+4 for Sai Baba is "importanter".

CEOwatazs:
plix the 20states abeg n aw true is dx news I wanna distop my family members dx afternoon..... de are all anti buharist

All the 7 states in the NW.
5 in the NE apart from Taraba.
4 in the NC apart from Benue and Plateau, PDP also won the FCT.
4 in the SW apart from Ondo.

APC has won already. 20 states are confirmed for Buhari. It's remaining Edo and Oyo. APC is leading in Oyo by 7000 with 2 LGAs left.
Yobe and Borno margins are crazy mehn!

Meanwhile, PDP is trying hard to manipulate and inflate Anambra results for Atiku but thank God for Ngige.

According to APC Situation Room.
Lagos State
Final Presidential result

APC 1,213,492

davodyguy:
What's it cause of the Ondo loss?

Akeredolu's anti party activities.
Sponsoring his own NASS candidates in AA against APC candidates thereby confusing the electorates and splitting the votes of the APC.

Before you rush and conclude because of the name. One Akpabio's brother is serving in Udom's govt and has been working hard for the PDP to defeat Godswill Akpabio and the APC in AkwaIbom.

And that was how Saraki lost his reelection bid to the Senate.

Time to get a loyal APC Senate President that will not delay our budget for 6 months so that we can accelerate Nigeria's development.

When are the results from Trump Hotel polling units in the US coming in for Atiku?

Today's election was simply to keep the PDP looters and chief seller (Atiku) far away from our national treasury and NNPC for another 4 years.
4+4. #NextLevel

Sannisege:
But is Buhari winning in Ondo? thats what I care about

Yes. APC is leading in the presidential but losing the Nass due to split votes.
We don't need PDP senators slowing down budgets like under Saraki. That's my concern.

APC might lose majority of the National Assembly seats in Ondo to the PDP.
Akeredolu sponsored his candidates in AA against the APC candidates that emerged from the NWC primaries.
AA is dividing APC votes giving the PDP an edge already.

Shehu Sani can now go to his Ipob and Twitter cheerleaders for his Certificate of Return.

#NextLevel

We told wailers that Buhari will defeat Atiku in Adamawa state based on what we know, they insulted us in return.

I only needed to see Adamawa and Kwara to confirm that APC has won the election.
So far so good... #NextLevel is guaranteed

shachris05:
Na why dem postpone the election be this.

AVM Muazu welldone o!

So what would INEC now do? Reprint Ballot papers?

No. If INEC isn't ready with ballot papers that includes the APC for Zamfara NASS elections, INEC will simply go ahead with the presidential election nationwide and conduct the Zamfara national assembly elections on March 9.

I just strongly believe that the head of operational logistics must have deliberately sabotaged the election materials distribution process.
How can you mix up 10 different states and end up sending Kano materials to Katsina, Delta to Edo, etc.?
It's all coming out now.

MrAJQ:
Both parties (APC and PDP) have agreed that there must not be any form rigging, anyone caught trying to disrupt any electoral process should pay with his life

If you know PDP's rigging antecedents from 1999, you won't trust them at all.
PMB's honesty and political naivety in a country where crooked politicians abound may cost him his reelection if he's not careful.

Having tried to insert ONLY Electronic transmission of results into the amended electoral act so they can possibly hack it, I suspect PDP's rigging plan is still one step ahead.

Recall that PDP/Atiku paid Ballard Partners $1.1 million for both US visa lobbying and election poll, and they found out PMB will still defeat Atiku based on their own poll.
Hence Segun Sowunmi's comment that.. Atiku doesn't have the numbers to win the election except through rigging.

This is my suspicion. If you listen to the INEC chairman on Saturday, you'll see the election was postponed due to logistics. Mahmud Yakub has integrity but there may have been a compromised logistics head in INEC who deliberately transfered ballot papers of Kano to Katsina, Edo to Enugu, Delta to Edo, etc. I mean, who makes that kind of mistake?

I believe some politicians have had access to the ballot papers and will replicate them for thumbprinting on Saturday.

I just hope PDP/Atiku don't succeed in gaining access to our treasury and foreign reserves again through their crooked rigging plans, else Nigeria will be completely finished.
Possibly another Venezuela or Zimbabwe loading in the near future if they do.

I trust the media to twist that comment enough to maximise political capital out of it. PMB simply said any thug willing to engage in snatching ballot boxes on Saturday must be willing to do it at the risk of losing his life.

Either this story is true or there was a deliberate sabotage by the person in charge of operational logistics.
I don't trust PDP/Atiku at all when it comes to bribery and rigging elections. They're too desperate to lay their dirty hands on our TSA earnings and foreign reserves that PMB has grown.

God will never answer the prayers of those who want looters of our national treasury to return to power.
There's a major problem of political and economic illiteracy in Nigeria.

Those who practice Container Economy are praying for PDP to return, not knowing that they are praying for Nigeria to be doomed when oil money is gone eventually.

For those who understand how a really sustainable economy should be, if PDP dare wins, just pack your bags and leave Nigeria because Nigeria will end up as another Venezuela in the near future.
4+4 jare

This one is just looking for cheap fame from Nigerians by force. At least by bashing her she can become another Shatta Wale to us, whether na positive or negative popularity.

So Nigerians should now vote for a thief who miraculously leaped from an ordinary civil servant to a multi-billionaire with no real proof of how he amassed such wealth apart from looting public funds?
Nonsense and Ghana.
4+4 jare

This is what Valentine should be.

But Nigerians have converted it to a day babes get IPhones and guys get sex.
Nonsense

This is not what wailers and Ipobs wanted to hear oh. They certainly hoped to hear that Amina Zakari is responsible for the logistics issues so they can transfer their insults from Buhari and APC to the innocent woman.
Emotional and irrational political beings.

Next Saturday no far sha. The majority of Nigerians would teach Container Economy people that election is a game of numbers, not who insults the most.
4+4

Nice.
This is talk and do government, and this is how to spend public funds...in building infrastructure that'll open up the country for economic and industrial activities, which in turn creates jobs that'll benefit the entire population in the long run. (Not to mention the rail construction jobs)
Check out how the Lekki-Epe expressway alone turned that corridor to the one of the largest business hubs in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, some people prefer Container Economy that allows them import whatever they want from China. So that they can get rich while exporting jobs for Chinese industries. Whereas Nigeria has an increasing youth population to cater for if we don't invest rightly now.

If only the election held today, the majority of Nigerians would have taught Container Economists that they prefer infrastructure and local production of what we consume to "my container don land".

johnnybravo1990:
Me diving into the pool today. At last.

Good for you.
Canada is the number 1 trending topic on Twitter since the election was postponed.
One naija girl in Canada has been educating millions of Nigerians who know nothing about it. So expect EE to get crowded later this year.

So much financial and emotional implications for Nigerians.

I think this election postponement will likely hurt PMB's chances more than the opposition parties as Nigerians are ignorantly blaming Buhari and APC for it, instead of holding an independent INEC responsibile for failing Nigerians.
Nigerians are far more emotional than rational.

I know this decision by INEC is very disappointing to all and sundry, but for Atikulooters this is another opportunity to attack the president and his party for INEC's failure.

When the APC is affected by INEC's decisions against it, democracy is working and INEC is independent.
But when an independent INEC fails in its responsibility despite being given all they asked for, Mr President and the APC are endangering democracy
More shame on Atikulooters than on INEC.

This election postponement has shown that lots of Nigerians are far more emotional beings than rational.

This report is too well detailed and comprehensive to be false, and it corroborates almost all my analysis of what to expect on Saturday, except Kano. I remember saying the SE will have the least voter turnout of about 40%.
As we say, elections are not won on social media. The real voters don't make noise online.

#NextLevel loading...
Sifia pains loading for wailers...

Buhari without APC can win 12 states. Atiku on his own without PDP can win 0 state.
But how ipobs expect an Atiku victory in the first place is what I don't understand.

So Nairalanders watch Journalist Hangout?
And we still find stupid comments on this forum everyday

senatordave1:
Apc best performance will be from edo where they can narrowly.ill give it 55% followed by akwa ibom where i see 40% then rivers where am foreseeing 30%-35%, followed by delta 25%-30%,cross river 20-25,and finally bayelsa 5-15%.

I share your sentiments and agree with your numbers, but he who controls the security agencies in Rivers controls the election outcome. Go and revisit the Rivers rerun elections to know why.
I'm sure you also heard the anger from Amaechi yesterday.
Watch out for incredible results in Rivers, and remember I said so.

That isn't going to happen, unless Buhari in his final term decides to damn the so called peace brokers headed by Abdusalam.

There's an annoying hidden agreement not to touch any former President or Vice president no matter what they loot. But you can prosecute everyone else, including their wives.

Sharing votes in Crossriver is unrealistic. PDP will win by at least 60%.
APC's best outing in the SS will be in Rivers, followed by Edo, AkwaIbom, Delta, then Crossriver and Bayelsa last.

PS: Rivers presidential results will not be free and fair as Amaechi will do payback time to Wike for 2015.
I don't support rigging though. Just being an analyst.
