Obasanjo lost all his south West states. That's means his fellow yourubas prefare olu falae to him.
Yorubas preferred chief Olu Falae 100%. Chief Olu Falae is a true democrate and pro Yoruba

Those were the days of Free and Fair elections...

Just like the June 12 Presidential election...

What we have today is a sham and electoral somersault often called elections...

Where you see results from Imo appearing in Jigawa....

Where Wike and his foot soldiers will rewrite and manipulate election results and boldly tell you to go to court if you don't like what you see...

Who wrote the 2011 Presidential election that brought dumb Goodluck Jonathan in?

Olu Falae was the Obi of that time.

I like the way the contestants were from the same region. When it's time for another region, the 2 contestants should come from same.
If Nigeria wanted to work, they would have continued that way.

even the port Harcourt wey tinubu win no shock u? E win am with higher margin even akwa ibom wey atiku win no shock u? As for Lagos I can say they have lot of Igbos so is possible imagine handling both akwa ibom and rivers to the original winner u feel aay tinubu go smell aso rock?
Akwa Ibom was a PDP state then bro, the governor was solidly behind Atiku then.

As for Rivers, we all know it was Wike's handiwork.

The GenZ will be wondering where all these figures are now...and many will be saying "voter apathy"..

Don't let anyone deceive you with those words....it's not voter apathy....those were dark ages of electoral malpractices of the highest level...laced with massive thumb printing...ballot box stuffing, elections results writing, accompanied with loads of electrical mayhem and massacre. Dark Days!

No one will witness those days and not agree that our electioneering process has improved.

The introduction of PVC and card reader was the game changer.
Please loud it!!!

Nothing like fair! Abdul Salam handed over to his former boss. The rigging was heavy in the north. Obj was the top generals choice! The mathematics was factored in the north. Don't be deceived. It's even tighter to rig now than that era of only ballot paper n pen

See when people decided to came out to vote.
It's not possible to have even 50% turn out in Nigeria of today? You know why? Almost half of those voters figures you see are fantom people. It seems you guys don't still know that high number of voters in the register is a political bargaining chips in Nigeria?
I look at the voters register in a ward in gombe south senatorial district in 2010 revealed most of the faces are toddlers. Now, those guys won't be able to come out to vote on election day in this period that's harder to rig than it was in 1999 or even 2007. I participated in an off cycle senatorial election in gombe in 2010, it was so easy to rig that the PO and APO were forced to thumbprint most of the unused ballots. Now you'll call that high turn out?
Whether you agree or not, elections are not perfect, but are becoming more credible than it was before.
Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by timilehin007(m): 1:53pm On Mar 14
God bless you. As a yoruba person, I'd have voted for OSB
gidgiddy:
Thats because there were only two people running for President, and both were Yoruba

Do you think Yoruba's would have voted Tinubu if Tinubu and Osibanjo were the only two people running for President?
Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by Bimpe29(m): 1:57pm On Mar 14
The election was largely free and fair then.

Katsina had more than 3 times the voter population of kano?
None of the Yoruba states wanted Obasanjo às President. He didn't win even one state in the southwest despite wining in all the other 30 states and the FCT.
Obasanjo was to be used by the Hausa military to appease Yoruba people for Abiola's incident. Meanwhile, he is a military man who the Hausas are used to. They put him automatically without caring to know who Yoruba people really wanted. So Obasanjo was Hausa's agenda. Pure!

This is always my response when some people say that they voted for yorubas and cite obasanjo in a bid to show that tgey are not tribalistic...you voted against yoruba interest even when there were just 2 yorubas on the ballot

Sokoto had a popular APP Governor then. In the person of Attahiru Bafarawa, he campaigned vigorously for the AD/APP and went on to win the state for his party's presidential candidate. Same thing happened in the north East

Voter turnout was high, no doubt, but what usually happened then was that multiple voting was very common. The INEC officials would wait for some time after everyone in the queue had finished voting and allow many of them to thumbprint the remaining ballot papers.
Thats true. Same thing in the 2003 election when the SW decided to cede to OBJ. Fraudulent election.
Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by EnglandAmaka(f): 2:46pm On Mar 14

And Attahiru Bafarawa was an APP Governor in Sokoto already. He just won the state for his party

Olu Falae’s votes in sokoto was inherited from the merge with APP. APP merged with AD to produce a consensus candidate. Attahiru Bafarawa won the gubernatorial seat under APP in 1999

The Igbo voted for obj to spite the Yoruba. They know Olu Falae is the candidate the Yorubas were rooting for.

If it were to be Obasanjo and another man from the North, they would have voted for the other man.

Be not deceived.

Falae VP Umaru Shinkafi of APP was from Sokoto. Which made Falae to win Sokoto and Zamfara

Falae even though was in AD, ran under the APP banner because of the merger

That year when we all had hope of OBJ prison to palace. Turned out as the sanctimonious leopard that couldn't change his spots. God gave him the biggest opportunity on all sides and he failed Nigeria.
We were on same level with UAE at this point if not ahead.
Same level with UAE in 1999?😂
Same Nigeria with poor health care, power supply and dilapidated infrastructure?
Nigeria has never been on the same level as UAE.

If i can get you correctly, it means whatever tinubu got from the west at the last election was vote rewritting or manipulation. as he clearly rigged himself in. cus must Yorubas detests failure. only the tribalistics ones voted for tunubu.

Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by Emekaonline: 3:30pm On Mar 14
Imagine what will be the result if the presidential election is between Peter Obi and Soludo. I am sure. one of them will win their region but lose other regions like Olu Falae. Your guess is as good as mine
Re: Check Out 1999 Presidential Results by Oche0001: 3:38pm On Mar 14
