Below is the breakdown of the states of Nigeria into geopolitical zones with total number of registered voters with percentage against total voters registered and you can begin your permutation for the presidential elections.
Below are a few interesting Scenarios;
- How would President Jonathan perform in the South-South?
- Would Buhari clean out in North West?
- Would the votes be split down the middle in South East?
- How about the votes in the second largest geopolitical zone, the South-West? Is it a foregone conclusion that Buhari will pip President Jonathan or would it be an overwhelming victory?
