Let the political fireworks begin. I hope the two elections won't go the way of the previous ones that have been held under the leadership of Prof Mammud Yakubu-- inconclusive elections.
The PDP must win both states to stand a good chance in 2019.

If wishes were horses.

bejeiodus:
A ruling party in twelve states is by no means a dead party. The PDP is alive and kicking. The party has won more elections post-2015 general elections than any other party.
Those who wish the PDP ill are in for a rude awakening.

LORD, guide President Buhari continually, and satisfy his soul in drought, and strengthen his bones. Make President Buhari like a watered garden and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. There is nothing covered, not enemies, strategies, counsels, or weapons, which will not be revealed to President Buhari. The hidden things will be made known to him, including the plans of our enemies and every terrorist plot will be known. His house and this nation will be secure in all things; no word spoken against NIGERIA shall prosper. Every plot formulated in the hearts of Evil men to disrupt the security of this nation through manipulation or terrorist attack in Nigeria shall be cast down. Ameen.
