The wide gap in education between the North and South is a big factor working against the unity.

PDP SITUATION ROOM

"To clarify more for those not following what We have been analysing even before the election.
1, We never said we would win North East & North West. We targeted not to fall behind too far. We wanted at least 30% of the total vote cast.

Current verdict on Exit Polls: We have more than 40% in Sokoto, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba is 75%, Adamawa is coming down to 50/50 surprisingly, we expected 35% there and we know why - top Buhari appointees are from Adamawa including his Wife Aisha, the current APC governor, senators, Reps, SGF, many of them so getting above 40 is victory for us.

Then Katsina we are 30% so far which is great!
Kano and Kaduna, lots of irregularities but the strategy we deployed in ground reduced it so we are above 40% so far.

So we are holding our ground in the North West and East, better results than we expected.
North Central, Kogi we expected 40% but it's now 55%for us with all the rigging, votes rejection and intimidation, buying of votes by Yahaya Bello. Dino is on top delivering the state.

Benue is cool in the bad, Nasarawa is now 50/50 when we expected 40%. PLateau is now 65% so far for us.
Niger cloudious for now, no real results to prove yet.
Best results against our permutations are from South West but a slim victory for APC in Ekiti is what it looks like now!
Of course don't worry about South South and South East" Solid Source

Keep faith!

Fantastic!!

PRESS RELEASE

AKWA IBOM STATE APC CALLS FOR CANCELLATION OF ELECTIONS

The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), having reviewed all the field reports from its unit agents who participated in the Presidential and National Assembly elections of 23 February 2019, hereby states as follows:
1) That the elections purported to have been held in the state on the aforementioned date should be cancelled outright for the following reasons:
a) Failure to, in particular, to deliver election materials to designated RACK Centres as announced by INEC to all political parties in a briefing by the Resident Electoral Commissioner a few days to the elections, thereby misleading party members to wait in vain in those designated centres while the state REC in collusion with his Electoral Officers and the PDP delivered the said election materials illegally to the homes of PDP leaders for illegal thumb printing of the ballots

b) Failure of INEC in Akwa Ibom State to comply with the requirements of the Electoral Act 2010 (as Amended) for the conduct of elections which specifies the use of the card reader for the accreditation of voters, a requirement that was blatantly disregarded.

c) That in light of the above, we hereby state that the said elections were not conducted according to law in the state.

2) That given the above grounds, the purported elections be cancelled and a new date set for fresh Presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

Signed:

APC State Chairman, Ini Okopido
APC State Secretary, Augustine Ekanem

No sense. Despite the rigging done by them. It's high time they accepted the will of people

Fake news!! Zombie get a life!

It's way too early to judge guys. Remember result posted here are unverified and fake. Let's tread with caution in our judgements.

olawalepopoola:
I am really baffled by the way the Igbos are trying to claim other people's land. Other tribes accommodate them politically?
In history we have heard Ibos in Yoruba political spheres and some of them even working in our states civil services. Some years back in Jigawa State an Igbo was made a special adviser to the Governor Sule Lamido, but they can't do so Hausa/Fulani in their region.
My question is, has an Yoruba occupied political positions in the five Southeastern states of Nigeria? If not Iqgbos are more tribalistic than any tribe in Nigeria.

This is a lame thing to say. Has any white man contested for election in lagos or any yoruba land?? Why are there yorubas vying or even occupying political offices in the western countries I.e US and UK??

This is because they are more civilized and understand diversity. Same is happening in lagos, it is most civilized and diverse in Nigeria. This same trend will trickle down to other states its just a matter of time I bet you..

This also the effect of globalization.

Is this lady or woman?

This is admirable and worthy of emulation!!

Na wao APC desperation is way too much. If Buhari is so popular as he claims, why not allow the wish of the people prevail??

positivelord:
Who wrote this nonsense...NDLEA should as a matter of urgency deal ruthlessly with journalist who write while smoking weed...#write-while-smoking-weed-and-die

Very well said!! Infact I was wondering if he or she meant to say 'collude' rather than 'collide'

With this they still had the guts to tell us Inec supports PDP??

I think Nigerians are wiser!!

Very parochial thing to say.

A good, intelligent and apt reply from you.

My friend don't be deceived. This is could be a scrip oshomole and Co are playing out. If you had watched prof Chidi on Channel this morning, he mentioned that a politician told him yesterday that election Will not hold prior the emergency meeting and subsequent announcement by INEC.

How could a politician had know this if it wasn't a premeditated plan?

Another angle to it, could be that INEC was Innocent and indeed made frantic and conscious efforts to hold election as scheduled but was thwarted by powers that be, remember he mentioned sabotage. Always remember not everything are said on camera.

My point is that APC could have a hand in this.

-PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has asked the people of Adamawa, his home state, not to disappoint him on Saturday, Februar 16

- Atiku urged his people to vote massively for him on the election day - The former vice president, however, pledged to address the problem of insecurity, unemployment, poverty and other challenges militating against the development of the country

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday, February 14, concluded his campaign tour in Adamawa, with a call on people of the state to appreciate the emergence of their own and vote for him

Atiku reiterated his pledge to address the problem of insecurity, unemployment, poverty and other challenges militating against the development of the country. In his remarks, the national chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus, also urged the people of Adamawa to prove their love for Abubakar and the party, adding that their son was a tested and trusted candidate that had what it took to change Nigeria for the better. Secondus also tasked INEC, security agencies and all stakeholders, to ensure the conduct of credible elections. In his remarks, the Adamawa gubernatorial candidate of PDP, Alhaji Umaru Fintiri, said if elected as governor, he would ensure free and compulsory education in the state. The two wives of Atiku, Titi and Ruqqaya, who also spoke at the rally, pleaded with the people to vote for their husband.

they said he will divide the votes in the north. Now his trying to survive in adamawa state

My friend, this is normal, it is a campaign. Voting for someone is not the person's right. The onus is on the candidate to woo and convince his supporters or better still the masses for their vote.

Absolutely massive as espected. Home advantage for both...

Damn!! Akpabio is too desperate!!!

Officialpdpnig:
This is totally different from the reception Atiku got in Katsina who were only under the covered part of the stadium

This is well expected. Home base advantage!!

alhassanyusuf29:
But 90% of those that voted are southerners, for Buhari to have gotten those figures shows no hope for Atiku

So you think Atiku doesn't have strength up North?? This is Atiku not Jonathan.

Piece of crap!! If the endorsement had gone the other way I am absolutely sure you accept it.... Nonsense

donphiilopus:
Even if you sound uncouth and uncultured, I'd still have to reply you.

Where was Kwankwaso and his Kwakwasiyya in 2003, 2007 and 2011 when Buhari won Kano State? FYI, Buhari doesn't need any heavyweight politician from Kano to be on his side for him to win Kano. He won Kano in 2011 when Kwankwaso, Ganduje and Shekarau were all against him. In fact most of these politicians need Buhari in Kano more than Buhari needs them.

Really?? You think buhari can do it alone? Why is he holding on to Ganduje if he didn't matter? Now he has been tested with power and ha failed so he can't get all that support he got in those years you mentioned.

My question to the APC is that why didn't they call it interference when the same America was supporting them in 2015?
I vividly remember the then secretary of state visiting the country frequently prior to the election and Obama then addressed Nigerians in a video, in a way that clearly showed their support for the opposition.... As a result, Buhari's first foreign trip after taking over was an appreciation visit to the US.

Why cry wolf now?

Na mind game. 16th will tell...

It is absolutely clear that baba is not in charge. No doubt!!!

How will u be a strong force?? To put it bluntly, if u go to senate and ur son governor, you will have unlimited access to the state money to fund ur fruitless ambition. We the people of the state say No to your useless and selfish ambition.

Na wao. So even vanguard news paper carries fake new!!

Wahala dey oooo, Which do we trust??

Niorte:
What can be done to retrieve my PVC? This is very disheartening! I made request for a transfer in April 2018 from Akure Ondo State to Epe LGA Lagos State.

I've been to INEC office two times, even today. They keep telling me my card is not ready.

Please I'm raising alarm because some other people also would have been disenfranchised by this PVC buying system.

Is it possible to make request since April 2018 and still not have a new PVC up till now?

A close friend of mine has similar issue. He applied for transfer in April 2018 from Calabar to Eti osa and he was also told its not available /ready.
