Please I want to know what will happen if Buhari gets 51% (and won in 19 states) of the votes while GEJ gets 49% (and won in 17 states). Will they still announce Buhari as the winner or there will be another election?

Brother, u shabi dream oooooo.... Which country buhari won get 51% while GEJ go get get 49% Let me tell u come 2015 is 85% for GEJ while buhari goes home with just 15%. GEJ till 2019!!!

I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population. This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can be misinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era is amazing. Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts: – He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries. – There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB! – In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military). – JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison. – Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn’t been matched by 12 years of the PDP. – Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time. – Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders. – He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn’t. – Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him… “All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank”. – He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof. – He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government. – He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja. – Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated – He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State. – His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari? He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,now is the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for the BUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest man. Now that you know better, will you please educate another person THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.IT’S JUST THE TRUTH"

Jonathan will win for sure. But should there be any stalemate, a run-off is usually conducted between the two top contenders.

There wont be a stalemate. Its 75%:35% of total vote cast projection for Buhari. Also 25:11 states won clearly.

There wount be anything of that sort because GEJ is wining by a land slide. Dont be carried away by nairanland properpaganders

The election will not end in a stalemate. General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) will win with a landslide victory and his victory will come from the North where more than three-quarters will vote for him. Many of my Eastern brothers may not vote for him but it doesn't matter because up to half of the Yorubas will vote for him.

Sai Buhari 2015.

I'll lock myself inside to avoid violence

To be declared winner, 1. Highest number of votes across the 36 states + FCT
2. Must have secured minimum of 25% of votes in 24 states & fct

The number of states won is irrelevant, only the two conditions above are important.

Jonathan will not win anything. This guy has only won one election in his life rigged and manipulated by the same people currently against him. Please stop deceiving your self. It is only Buhari we are voting for or against. Buhari is the issue.
Anticorruption and effective defence and security leader against those who perceive him as a sectional leader or islamocrat. Jonathan is just there to attract the voters who are scared not because he is a weighty challenge on his own merit.

There will be run offs... All other candidates will be excluded. By then it will be clear that the momentum is with Buhari and he will get 60% of the votes in 2/3rd of the States in the country
