That Jigawa recorded 70% and Borno about 53% shows how rigged the elections were in the North.
First no election anywhere in the demicratic world can record up to 70% voter turnout.
Insurgents ridden Borno cannot record up to the 53% because the number of people displaced alone by the insurgency,those that lost their voter cards and those that still live in fear.
What these figures just did is confirm what is already known and that is the fact that the elections were massively rigged in the North for Buhari.

Have you finished crying? Oya go to court

Less than 19 per cent of Lagos State voters with Permanent Voter Cards came out to vote in the governorship and state legislative elections, statistics obtained by SUNDAY PUNCH have shown.

According to the statistics released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, out of the 6.5 million registered voters in Lagos State, 5.5 million obtained the PVCs.

INEC guidelines state that only persons with the PVCs are allowed to vote, which means the 5.5 million persons were eligible to cast their ballots on Election Day.

However, figures released by INEC showed that only 1,006,074 actually voted during the general elections, representing 18.29 per cent of the 5.5 million voters with the PVCs in the state.

The winner of the governorship election, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress, garnered 739, 445 votes, indicating that less than 14 per cent of Lagosians with the PVCs voted for him.

The turnout of voters in the governorship and state House of Assembly polls was lower than the presidential and National Assembly elections held two weeks earlier.

The total number of accredited voters during the presidential election in Lagos was 1,196, 490, which was higher than the turnout in the governorship election by 190, 416.

From the data gathered from various state results, Jigawa recorded the highest voter turnout in the March 8 polls at 72 per cent. No fewer than 1, 169, 925 persons voted out of the 1, 625, 721 persons with the PVCs.

Sokoto has the second highest voter turnout as 60 per cent of persons with the PVCs were accredited to vote in the elections which were later declared inconclusive.

About 1, 033, 081 persons were accredited to vote out of the 1, 726, 887 with the PVCs. The figure is expected to rise as a supplementary election will hold on March 23.

Crisis-ridden Borno State, which has been battling insurgency for the last nine years, recorded a voter turnout of 1,292,138 out of the 2, 244, 376 persons with the PVC. This constitutes over 57 per cent voter turnout.

Plateau State, whose governorship election has also been declared inconclusive, registered a voter turnout of 54 per cent. The North-Central state accredited 1, 147, 025 out of the 2, 095, 409 voters who had the PVCs.

Taraba State also recorded a 54 per cent voter turnout where Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party secured a second term as governor.

Kaduna State witnessed 53 per cent voter turnout as 1,936,800 voters were accredited out of 3, 648, 831 with the PVCs.

In Adamawa State, where the last elections have also been declared as inconclusive, a 50 per cent voter turnout was recorded. About 894, 481 persons out of 1,788,706 persons with the PVCs voted. However, the figure is also expected to rise as a supplementary election will take place on March 23.

Interestingly, no state in the southern part of Nigeria recorded up to 50 per cent voter turnout.

Of all the states where governorship election held in the South, only the result of Rivers State was held back.

Delta State recorded the highest voter turnout in the South with a little above 48 per cent voter turnout. About 1,188,784 out of 2,470,924 persons with the PVCs were accredited to vote in the oil-rich state while about 37 per cent turned out to vote in Akwa Ibom.

Speaking with our correspondent, a former National Commissioner of INEC, Prof. Lai Olurode, said the election environment was not conducive for peaceful voting.

He believed that the voter turnout and the conduct of the 2015 presidential election were better than the situation in 2019.

Olurode stated, “The aftermath of the presidential election in some places, including Lagos, made many believe that their safety would not be guaranteed. The average voter wants to be sure that when he leaves his home, he will return safely.

“It is important to stress that INEC improved on logistics but other stakeholders in the electoral process probably didn’t do enough. Certainly, there is room for better performance in future elections. Nigeria certainly deserves better electoral engagement.

“Elections ought not to be the equivalent of a slaughter’s slab. Some politicians display an unbelievable level of desperation. We also need to create an electoral regime other than the present zero-sum game, one in which every participant is a winner.”

This shows that the Lagos population isn't 21 .million as claimed, it's less than 10 million.

successmatters:
Lagos practised "machine gun democracy "

The ruling party saw their defeat and had to use guns to fight the people who may vote them out. But evil cannot reign forever.

We cannot be trading words with defeated people.

Sakamaje:
It is clear that most people in the South are using those PVCs for other things other than voting.

Voter suppression was part of the problem, notably in the presidential elections

Nice statistic.atleast the information will sink into the mind of Atiku supporters majorly from the south where he was kinda popular" by sentiment"

ClearFlair:

Talking as if u won anything.

4 years on, u still have poor roads, bleeped hospitals, bleeped education sector, bleeped, bleeped bleeped.

Only the politicians got richer

...

U are a defeated person too.

I disagree sir.alot of people from the south choose not to vote probably due to lack of interest.if Borno with security challenges recorded 50% plus I don't see why peaceful states like osun, oyo, ogun, Cross river ,imo,enugu,ebonyI and the likes couldnt achieve 50% both in the presidential and Gubernatorial election.

What this report cannot capture is % of this 5.5M people thar have relocated out of Nigeria. My estimate will be that close to 1M have moved to other countries with Canada topping the list. We also do not have the number of eligible voters who have died before the election, those who relocated and then finally those who were disenfranchised by ethno-violence.
Maybe the true picture will be around 3.5M really within Lagos during the election. All the same,the aparthy was as a result of Presidential 'selection'.

sean1000x:
When we tell afonjas that Sanwo-Olu victory is a fluke, afonjas will be shaking head...paka, paka, paka like a chicken without head about to die. That real voters that voted Agbaje in 2015 in the close governorship race were denied voting. If these voters voted for Agbaje when APC still had some credibility, Tinubu's still endeared, Ambode far better than Sanwo-Olu and coupled with anti GEJ/PDP propaganda in Lagos? What then is 2019 when APC is a failure, Tinubu's mortgage of Lagos as his personal property, sack of Ambode, tribal politics and many more, is when Sanwo-Olu defeated Agbaje by 500,000 votes. Does that make sense to even a mad man?

2015 Election Result
Agbaje...697000
Ambode...812000

comparing 2019 result with that of 2015 clearly shows Agbaje isn't a serious politician.U only see him around during election period.He didn't do his assignment.in the presidential election both Atiku and Buhari almost divide the votes into equal half.meaning most people that voted for Atiku didn't vote for Agbaje .

Voter Apathy

Iamgrey5:
The results from both the presidental and governship election tells a different story

You guys had the lowest vote turnout, but I guess you attributed it to your imaginary affluence as usual.


By the way, you just claimed people were not allowed to vote in Lagos because they were suppressed, only to claim they were eating Amala at home on the same thread.

Pick a storyline and stick to it.

Oh I forgot that people came out in full force to approve the kerosene sharing Governor for another four years.

You didn't see sokoto with over 60% and PDP leading. Adamawa with over 50% with PDP leading. Those Myst be rigging as well

I thought Atiku said there was voter apathy. The turn out was more than presidential election

Even the 18% was inflated through mass thumb printing rigging method. By my own calculation, it was even up to 10%.

People were disappointed with the outcome of the presidential election. The people believed that their votes did not count,so what's the need queuing under the sun for nothing..

Sakamaje:

I thought as much

senatordave1:
You are a dumb fellow.jigawa state has always recorded close to 60% turnout.even before the polls,they were expected to record similar turnout.it is an open secret that northerners participate im voting more than southerners.
You claim that no democratic nation records up to 70% turnout but you forgot that in 2003,2007 and 2011 polls,most ss and se states had a turnout of over 70%.in 2015,rivers and akwa ibom surpassed the 70% mark

It is an open secret that they usually write election results in the SS and SE especially Rivers State. But they will be the first to shout Rigging! Rigging!! HYPOCRITES

Anarchocracy is what we are practicing in Nigeria not democracy.

What these figures just did is confirm what is already known and that is the fact that the elections were massively rigged in the North for Buhari.

In 2015 PDP alone had 71% vote in Rivers state while other states had less than 50% each. http://cpparesearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2015-Presidential-Election-Outcome_-analyses-and-implications_FINAL-REVISED.pdf. In 2011 2M registered to vote and over 1.9M voted in the same Rivers state. You people should just keep shut. In 2015 Lagos recorded 29% vote cast, so they've been having low voters turn out not today.

The reason is very simple, while the few APC members in the southern part of Nigeria used federal might and security to intimidate the people and created voter apathy. Their northern counterparts who are majority over there collaborated and conspired with the few PDP members to rig the election and came up with the manipulated figure, they are making us to believe is real.

In 2011 this was the voter turnout.
Abia 77.9% Imo 83.6% Akwa Ibom 76.2% Bayelsa 85.6% Rivers 76.3% on the other hand Jigawa 56.6% Kaduna 65.8% Kano 53.2%. as of 2011 Borno state recorded 49.5%.
So You can see how Democratic the elections that brought your hero of democracy really were.

I thought they said Lagos is no man's land? Why are people up there mentioning Yorubas again? Are Igbos not controlling Lagos again?

Just asking oo.

For the first time,i agree with you.lagos population might just be overexaggerated.seems kano and kaduna are more populous

They do but not like the south.they mostly use underage voters
