Kwakwanso can be back if ganduje's performance is poor. He is a veteran, former deputy speaker and two time governor. Saraki want's national relevance and maybe the presidency, I don't see that happening.

Let me tell you a secret, lawyers are counsels, they take a small counsel fee and when they look at your case, they counsel you on whether you have a chance or not. Agbakobia has said it best, a lot of people are using emotions, trust me, he cannot win. I am not a supporter of either, but there is no basis for another election, the best he can do is a recount which he will loose unless he bribes people, or a new election in specified places which cannot overcome the deficit. Take a look at the history of presidential election tribunals. All this thing about court will work, if Nigerians are unbiased and incorruptible. You cannot seek justice is a land that does not have justice. Hence it becomes a ruse, a game of who is more street smarter. The electoral system, election, democracy as practiced in Nigeria is flawed. repetition of the same flawed exercise is not necessary, only a revamp or something.

God knows Nigerians are the architect of their own predicament. When you live in a nation that likes to cheat each other what do you expect. A nigerian that has cheated the people through looting and then spreads the money do you want God to bless the rexipients and looters or even curse them.

#StandwithAtiku4justice

Yes is true the final 2019 election result has been announced in favour of Buhari. However this election, from account of observers this is not the true outcome of what was voted, just as Atiku and the entire PDP has rejected the result. If you are also in agreement, join hands let's stand with Atiku for justice.

#StandwithAtiku4justice

Most likely he lost, fair and square. It does not help that both parties rigged. He does not have a chance. The only thing they can do is a rerun in certain areas but the margin is too much to overcome so I do not see most justices setting aside the result for another round of rigging. You want them to do another round of vote buying and rigging

why do people here go to the base of arguments. You posited a good statistics and took the argument to the gutter. Technically, every vote should matter, for the victor and loser and should not be carelessly dismissed, the votes in the north, south south, and south east all matter and should be fought for. But Nigeria and how self inflicted lack of progress will always take things to the gutter. Nigeria is like a plane about to fly but cannot because, something is noticed, you present a figure but the way it is going, it is not going to fly. Frankly, people here criticizing Buhari have little merits because they have shown by their arguments they can be worse.

michaelandre:
APC shouldn't start celebrating because this election is still very very open

Really, atiku lost with more than 2 million votes.zamfara, delta, KebbI, rivers and one other state left

DaddyCoco:
From a reliable source, PDP won massively in Ondo State. Why won't a whole professor know how to read out digits and large numbers? This is just something my six year-old nephew can do! IMO, I think the yeye prof was just faking whatever "Nollywood" stunt he put up there. The APC is fighting so hard to retain power by all means. God pass dem last last.

his academic reputation is ok, but the whole announcing of election is a charade. He is there to collect his allowance and go home. He has little qualifications to be in that position so also does Yak but Nigeria just like doing things the Nigerian way, dangle money to a bunch of incompetent people to police or vote in an election. Being an academic does not make you competent in all matters, in short the smarter you are the more likely you are socially awkward and cannot communicate effectively. That is why most brilliant prof's do research.

Though, I agree, it is not because of APC but Nigerian politicians and their greed plus win at all cost. I hope the future can earn about this and at least, declare an election conclusively within 24 hours, instead of this t.v. drama/charade we have going. we are still a step better with a federal system and elections, democracy makes sense because of states and local governments having their own chosen leaders.

TundeBricklayer:
From the figures I'm seeing from major political parties, the winner might win with slim margin, there are many areas and polling units the election was cancelled, places like Lagos, Plateau, Rivers, Bayelsa, Nassarawa and Osun, I see inconclusive election

It depends, I see Buhari winning by 650k. If the cancelled results are more than 600k it can be inconclusive.

Daphresh:
Every Tom, Dick and Harry is now peddling spurious election results from different states... It goes to show how shallow and demented your brain is. Can't you keep your cool like everyone of us and wait for the umpire? Smeh!!

Actually, the INEC system is flawed. You do not need a national commissioner to announce results already validated by the state commissioners and also, it can be posted electronically which will make it faster than a television debacle like 2015. Listening to what aaep or ahyp or whatever got is nonsense

andico34:
Attesting to the statements made by journalists on the TVC few days ago.....i currently believe it is now mathematically impossible for buhari to win.....from the results released thus far and the projections......here is an unbiased view.....i used the differences or margins between the two major contenders to arrive at this conclusion......as follows

Unless their is rigging. Your projection for Enugu should be around 350k, Cross River 250K. Turnout will be lower than 2015 and APC will do better. Other changes can also occur. It is a nice try but may actually be wide off, especially if Buhari wins

EngrBello:
I can authoritatevly tell you that APC have won Oyo state. Ajimobi fumbled, though

Oyo is intriguing. No party has a clear path to the governorship and there are many parties can can get over 50k votes.

I just hope Yak can resign after this. Announcing results that have been online since last night. They should just post it electronically as soon as the state and zonal coordinator's approve it instead of wasting people's time.

jayson87:
Something is not right with Osun state result

I see rigging here. The people voted pdp

Early results posted on nairaland mean nothing. Until you know more about 30% of the votes can you be able to predict. In 2015, early esults posted here showed a friend was loosing, I called him but he was already celebrating. Most politicians have an idea from polling agents. If you know a politician they can give you an idea about what is going on in their area. Also that is how they know the figures they will add for rigging.

This is interesting, the governorship will be interesting. Do not know who is helping apc here, amosun or abiodun?

jericco1:
Ondo shocked me the most. it is like APC do not even know what they are doing

They have unpopular politicians, the ondo south senator will likely be defeated. Akeredolu does not have a strong political footing in Ondo North. The ondo central senator will also likely be defeated. However, it does not mean anything. Ondo legislators have always been there for their pockets and sometimes elected based on people's sentiment about the previous performer and need for change within the state. I just hope the new people change that pattern.

Asshurbanipal:
Sokoto is pdp. Thank you Tambuwal. Even if atiku fails you will defeat apc in 2023.

Supposedly the Sultan and Buhari do not see eye to eye, a reason could be because of Sambo. that is my understanding form an article I read weeks ago.

Officialpdpnig:
A US contracts lawyer just explained to me, one of the ways to know the letter is real is if non of the contractual parties on the client side back Ballard firm up with a disclaimer. So far, I'm not aware bukola saraki or osita chidoka has issued a statement.

If Atikus team truly received the leaked report and they back him up to refute the leak in circulation, they'd be shooting themselves in the legs, making it impossible to invoke clauses for indemnity for damages, since they equally agreed its a forgery.

I hope I didn't confuse you.

Long story short, its an authentic report but because it was leaked and has now gone public, the same Ballard has been forced to call it a forgery by his client (Saraki and Atiku) and damn the indemnity.

One thing is clear there was a poll taken, the covering letter is the one I am hesitant about but the analysis shows a poll one was taken somewhere by somebody. The analysis is too detailed for someone in their office or basement to cook up. I actually think the poll result shows some insightful information overlooked by the Atiku and Buhari camp, a lot of people do not care about both candidates, maybe next time they will present a candidate that is well respected. For Atiku or PDP, I think they may be too optimistic about their candidate, instead of boring or non performing Buhari, many people may not go out and vote. If the turnout is high, Atiku has a chance, if hte turnout is low Buhari wins, because the votes will just be along party lines and mostly by party members. That is what the poll is showing, not necessarily Buhari vs Atiku but which party will you vote for, APC of PDP.

I do not think it matters. He has a Nigerian passport and he is considered a Nigerian citizen. what Obj wrote was his parental background not his citizenship. His father could be fulani from Cameroun while his mother could have been from Adamawa but he was likely born in Adamawa. Ben Bruce's paternal side is scottish, his grandfather was scottish while his grandmother was Nigerian. There are Nigerians abroad who have sworn oath of allegiance to U.S., even Obama's father was not American.

Mopolchi:
Adonbilivit. Covenant 2nd? A kwei wayo so se.

They publish a lot of articles in journals. They are actually good in the research game which may influence this ranking. Babcock too have lecturers that publish a lot.

awelekiti:
It happened immediately after the meeting . As of this morning, his condition is said to be improving but nobody has heard him speak. The truth is, tinubu's health has been failing of late. How i wish he could just take a bow and leave active politics participation. Life is invaluable.

Rumour has it for a long while ( 4 years) that he has an ailment, that his hands sometimes shake. The news has been going on around his circle but if this is true, then there could be some truth to those rumours and surprised it is still kept a secret for this long.

W3lord:
Last week it was alleged that those who were nothing prior to 2015 are now billionaires.

It was alleged that he received around $12m @ 305 from central bank during the dollar crisis and resale at 495 at black market.

Sanusi had to cry out here >>

Please no insult if you have any information about him let's share here

Now a gist is already in town saying he now control a large amount of shares in keystone Bank and 9mobile.. In fact they said he bought it


https://www.naijiant.com/beer-parlour-gist/ismaila-funtua-smiling-way-central-bank/

He was once wealthy but fell off just like Mamman Daura. Bulet Construction made some money in Abuja development, was publisher of a nothern newspaper the democrat (formerly NPN mouthpiece in the north). He was thougth to be close to Babangida but not so sure, he was probably close to some ppl in Dodan barracks at one time.

Daviddson:
I can say that this is totally false, because Shangai was overthrown 3months after he won re-election. So there was still a huge nearly 4 years before another election.

If Shagari had been a Christian, the narratives would have been that Buhari overthrew him because he was a Christian. I don't like Buhari's leadership style and behaviour, but it's time we citizens refused to allow politicians to use our heads to play betting, using tribal or religious inclination, like Obiano is trying to now.

You have leave them, let them believe whatever they want. Ekwueme was probably a contender but Shagari was weak and may not have the final say on who will be NPN candidate in 1987. It will probably be anyone from the south from Akinloye to Ekwueme to Wayas, (even ogbemudia who would have been the best candidate if NPN ever had any notion of progress). Abiola left NPN in 1981 after he was informed he had no chance of winning in 1983, part of the reason was also Akinloye was gunning for the position in 1987. But the Dikkos, the dantata's the rabius had more say on who they will finance in 1987 than anyone from the south. The NPP and NPN accord had collapse in 1982 and for Ajaokuta, Olusola Saraki made money from Ajaokuta kick back from Fougerolle, but what has Nigerian benefited from Ajaokuta, while the NPN party wigs were laughing there way to the bank, Nigeria are still importing steel

Ganduri:
keep decieving yourselves, lol. Tinubu Zombie makes a post, Tinubu Zombie affirms it. We the rest of the Country know whats up. You guys can twist the narratives all you want but we the rest of the country know if Shagari was leftvto run down his term in office and drmocracy allowed to thrive, we would be a zillion years better than we are today. But ethnic bigotry wont allow you say Buhari was one of the reason this country is now in shambles. You go to other thread to justify his refus to sign the electoral bill that would further make is it even difficult for politicians to rig election, yet you are here again make post that siggests it was good for a democratic govt to be toppled. Buhari make a mess of Nigeria, just like he is doing now. Not to worry we have seen your whole circle out. we now knw from your outburst its ok to topple a democratic govt.
, Restructure is no longer good, when the tide turns, na thunder go fire una, when you bring such up again.

What are you on? which thread are you talking about? the truth needs to fly in Nigeria, but I guess I am closer to it because someone is bitter. That democratic experiment was a failure, this current administration looks clueless. Because one is a failure does not mean another cannot be a failure, because one thinks one administration is a sham does not make one feel the other administration is good. Frankly few administrations in Nigeria have ever been great, mostly average, to poor to failure. 79 admin was a failed experiment, more evidently, it was a failed one, nobody ever wanted those ppl to come back, IBB initiated the new breed so they will not come back, few ppl protested in support of them. It was after another disastrous administration (Abacha) that that set's atrocities were being forgiven.

Dee60:
Wow. This fellow wants to rewrite history.

Shagari was side-stepped in his administration and at a time had no answer to the unprecedented corruption of that era. In fact the foundation for corruption was laid by the NPN of that era. It was also the time that our nation started to lose its unity and started to lose its values in a collossal manner. No blame to Shagari, the gentleman. It was just that the party NPN was evil to its foundation. Their chairman was quoted as saying that 'Nigerians were yet to start eating from garbage bins.!

So, Ben Murray Bruce thinks that regime would have built Nigeria? It tells you the kind of person he is.

you are one of the few who understood what was going on. That government was a failed experiment. The politicians who took over from the technocrats and super permanent secretaries were ill prepared to run a small business talk less of a ministry. In addition, they were to involved in politics and sharing money to win elections to care about technical details of development. For example one of the most popular ministers of that era was also one of the worst dikko.under him the newly built ports descended into chaos, license racketeering, stealing of radios and pilfering all rose during that period. Do not even know any long lasting achievement of dikko in transportation but racketeering and chaos was rampant. Even the newly built ports outside lagos were left to rot nor did he do anything in lagos. Bamanga probably was involved in that sham also. Also Shagari knew they were a problem in1983. He actually started the ethical revolution project before wai but npn and nigeria was already going down by then. Ppl think babangida's regime was when everything began to go down but it was during shagari. Briuce can talk because he got a break during the chaos of that era.

eyeview:
Son, I don't know how old you are but buhari as at then was worse than shagari in corruption.
I still remember the celebration across the nation in 1985 when buhari was toppled

buhari was personally not known as corrupt but he made some mistakes which the military capitalized on. A lot of people including some popular politicians were thrown into prison and convicted on flimsy charges. The economy was not getting better, many in lagos hated wai. But like now, he is more a nationalist and soldier than a technocrat or politician and will readily sign anything his trusted aides bring to him and yends to have less personal interest in things he signs.

It is Gbadebo, he was a member of the state house during Buhari's first term and was likely Idiagbon's Chief of staff or the equivalent then.

[quote author=package7 post=71606313]It's obvious the beef between MKO and OBJ don tey because MKO is likely better than baba iyabo [/quote]most likely started in the late 70s. Mko was closer to obj before he met murtala. One if the reasons he famously barged into murtala's office to demand payment of ITT's debt was because he was close to obj and some of military leaders.

MrJanuzaj:
Is it the victory in oshogbo or victory overall? Please

victory in Osogbo. PDP should win but the margin will be very small

mukostic:
Pls can we have the total votes update for pdp and apc while awaiting the two lgas

You better go and relax, I have forgotten about this. If what others are saying about the invalid votes, it is a rerun. It seems PDP believes Osogbo margin is 8800, the margin of victory for either side is going to be under 5k

flowmama:
Thats ilesha West...

I meant the election. With Ilesha east margin low, and with no rigging in Osogbo, APC will loose/lost, depending on rigging.
