It's not over until it's over. Celebration could be in order however.

@Jules what are the chances of PDP winning this election?

And considering the fact that PDP hasn't won any state - yet - with a '1m+' margin, we can say PDP is still holding its own despite the wide figures from up North.

Plus the remaining SS and SE states are not heavy weights....APC is looking strong.

PDP can still surprise us sha. Miracles happen

This could degenerate into a run-off. Buhari has got minimum percentage in 14 of the 19 states. Jonathan's 16 out of 19. It's still open methinks.

No comments until we hear from Delta, Cross River, Bayelsa, Rivers, Ebonyi, Taraba

Those areas can't favor GEJ with more than 2million votes. It's going to be tight buh I'm rooting for Buhari
