Buhari vs Atiku: How Yobe will vote on Saturday
Yobe state since 1999 to 2015 has been ruled by the opposition political party, hence parting ways with the then ruling party, despite several strategies adopted to force the state to fall in line has proved abortive.
The 2015 general elections saw the state for the first time being ruled by the political party at the centre, the APC, an opposition party formed from the merger of three political parties, namely: ANPP, CPC and ACN.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe is enjoying the already established support, loyalty and structure by the defunct ANPP as this was evident in the 2015 general elections as the party won the presidential and the governorship elections in addition to winning 5 out 6 Federal House Representatives seats, 2 out of 3 Senatorial seats and 23 out of the 24 state assembly seats, while the opposition PDP won 1 Senatorial seat, 1 House of Representative seat as well as 1 State assembly seat, though the member later defected to the ruling party.
With this, it is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that, the ruling APC may likely maintain its dominance as regards the upcoming Presidential/National Assembly elections as well as other elections scheduled to hold on February 16th, and March 2nd.
Repeatedly, APC chieftains in the state had boasted in several campaign rallies that, ‘Yobe state is a no go area for PDP”. They (chieftains) in most cases buttressed their claims with the unprecedented turnout of the party’s supporters, stalwarts, chieftains, and admirers who on the 21st of January, 2019 received president Muhammadu Buhari in Damaturu and pledged their total support for his reelection bid and their unflinching support to the candidacy of all APC candidates in the state.
Yobe state in 2015 had given President Buhari 98% of its total votes despite his inability to visit the state for a presidential rally, this means that PDP got only 2% of the votes cast for the presidential election.
The current campaign trail of the APC which is visiting local government areas of the state is a clear indication that the party has maintained its relevance considering the mammoth crowd it is pulling when compared to the PDP campaign rallies in the state and the assurances that the potential voters are given to the campaigners is that, this time around, Buhari will get 100% of their votes and that their voting patterns would be from top to bottom as President Buhari instructed them.
The several claims made by the APC chieftains to deliver the state to Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 and to win all elections in landslide victory just like in the previous polls, may not be realistic as it seems, as the PDP in the state are also re-strategising to deliver the state to its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The massive turnout of electorate at the PDP presidential rally in the state on the 6th of February, 2019 indicated that the Presidential candidate on the platform of PDP may get a considerable number of voters from the 1.3 million voters who may participate in the election. Though the crowd that the rally pulled statistically was one third (1/3) of that APC presidential campaign, it is considered by many as impressive considering that the state is one of the strongholds of APC in the northeast region.
Nigeria elections: Buhari raises alarm, reveals persons inciting youths for violence
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said intelligence report had uncovered that some opposition leaders were inciting young Nigerians to go on rampage in a bid to discredit the forthcoming elections.
He, therefore, appealed to the youths in Nigeria to shun violence during the polls.
The nation’s leader, in his speech during a national broadcast, said: “I want to make a special appeal to our youth: Do not allow yourselves to be used to cause violence and destruction.
