Which States Have Changed Their GEJ-GMB Preferences

As the presidential election just around the corner, political analysts have submitted that the actual contest for the presidential seat is between the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) of the All Progressives Congress.

The Vanguard fleshes out the most probable scenario of how Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT will vote come the March 28 presidential election day.

Every inch of Nigerian territory is being battled for. Buhari, who in his former contests practically ignored several areas, is going out meeting and soliciting votes all over the country. Aside from the strategic meeting with governors, he is also expected to address the concerns of traders in Onitsha. President Jonathan, on the other hand, has practically laid siege on the Southwest with the prospect of winning over the people of the region.


Guided by the analyses of a plethora of political watchers, Naij.com has created a chart that compares the outcome of the 2011 presidential election to potential outcome of the same process in 2015.



Nigeria’s presidential election results 2011:

According to the Vanguard, fourteen states are expected to support the PDP candidate, Goodluck Jonathan. The same amount of states are expected to support the APC candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, while the rest nine states are too close to call.
