Poor Turnout For APC South East Rallies, An Indication Of Rejection? by Chikiletta(op): 7:06pm On Jan 29, 2019
The South East has about 7 million registered voters. In 2015, the region although witnessed a low turnout, gave PDP about a net vote of 2.5million votes. The strength of the region is in its bloc votes. In fact, the net vote of the APC in the whole of South West, was covered by the bloc vote of Anambra State for PDP.

Hence, Buhari’s electoral victory is traceable to the bloc votes from North East and North West. The problem for APC starts when a strong and loveable candidate like Alhaji Atiku Abubakar becomes the candidate of the PDP. If Northern votes are divided, then the horizon is cloudy for the APC. However, that is not the issue in this article.

The issue here is that there has been a persistent low turnout for South East rallies of the APC, from Enugu, to Anambra, to Imo and then to Abia State. This has become a source of worry for the ruling party as they try to show dominance in the region.

In a situation where a prominent, competent and capable Fulani Muslim is up, challenging Buhari in the North, with the likes of Kwankwaso, Tambuwal and Lamido for the PDP, then chances are that the 2019 election is set to be tough for the APC. With Enugu, Anambra, Imo, and Abia recording empty venues for the APC, one can only guess how the APC will win the 2019 election. The question then becomes; what is the plan for an APC victory come February 2019?

Buhari does not need ur votes to win. Your people did not vote much for him in 2015, yet he won, so it won't be different this time around.

It's not news that the South East has never been APC territory.
Re: Poor Turnout For APC South East Rallies, An Indication Of Rejection? by hisgrace090: 7:31pm On Jan 29, 2019
Mind you APC won in 2015 with south east zero turn out.
Re: Poor Turnout For APC South East Rallies, An Indication Of Rejection? by Nobody: 7:31pm On Jan 29, 2019
Only fools wouldn't reject APC. If ameachi could in his conscience know and say that there is hunger in the land, what of the common man?

The only way Buhari can make it again, comes elections time is via rigging. This is precisely the rationale behind is rejection of the electoral act, and even the replacement of the CJN. But we are watching!

Fake news. The pictures were taken either before the start of the program or after they might have left.

Yeye people keep contradicting themselves. When buhari campaign in the North and have crowd, you called them names that they are jobless which is why they go for rallies like that, where as igbos don't go for such things in such numbers because they have job to do which keep them busy.

Now buhari has started campaign in the same south East, you started carrying fake pictures around saying that the same busy people do not turn up in numbers. please have they lost the so called jobs? Or they were merely busy bodies doing nothing? I had to ask this question even though I know that the pictures you people parade is fake ones you took when the event had not started.

Without apology I make bold to say that this poster is deluded.

When you see a PDP supporter writing gibberish we should correct him. You can't be claiming 2015 figures for 2019 and also you can't be backing up your manipulated report with pictures of empty stadiums.

This post makes no single sense.

The turnout at APC rally in the east has been very impressive and to think that's the acclaimed territory of the opposition.

We saw that of Enugu, we saw that of Aba and again today we see that of Imo so what else is left to defend?

The Igbo people are wiser and smarter and only fraudsters, looters and IPOB will support PDP.

President Buhari is the answer to the NEXT LEVEL
