What does it profit Peter Obi to win a state & still be 3rd overall. Please, results over efforts.

This result has to be a joke.

There’s no way Obi scores less than 400k votes in Nasarawa.

The Suppression of Obi’s Numbers will not be allowed to stand, no wonder they stopped the results from being transmitted at the polling units.

INEC should be careful not to throw away our country into a state of confusion.

Nasarawa has a lot of Christians. Nothing less than 50% Christian I believe. So many areas you won't find a mosque in streets. How they let the Muslims suppress them so they can't produce a Christian governor is what I can't understand.
