Is Buhari Going To Unseat Jonathan?( The battle continues)

Though the results of this year's presidential election is still coming in and yet to be declared officially by INEC, we can make some predictions and projections based on the data we have collected from INEC so far and hope that when Jega anoounces the final result, we don't seem so confuse.

Following the elections over the weekend, the stage seems set for a change of leadership in the nation’s polity with results of the presidential polls indicating that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd), is in comfortable lead in three of the country’s six geo-political zones.

The zones include the two largest ones – North West and South West. Buhari also polled more votes than his arch-rival and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), President Goodluck Jonathan, in the North East zone.

The incumbent president clinched the South South and the South East. Both candidates have shared the spoils  in North Central zone with Buhari winning in Kogi, Kwara and Niger states while Jonathan cornered Nasarawa, Plateau and Benue.

“Clearly, it is three zones to two; and after winning North West which has Kano and South West with Lagos, the two most populated states and zones, nothing can stop him.”

Jonathan lost vital polling units, including the one at the seat of power where he resides, Aso Villa, Abuja.
Many of his cabinet members, including the minister of education, Ibrahim Shekarau; his Federal Capital Territory (FCT) counterpart, Bala Mohammed, and the minister of state (II) for foreign affairs, Musliu Obanikoro, posted dismal results in their home units. Many other high-profile politicians lost their polling units to opposition parties.
