Mohammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of Nigeria's  leading opposition party, the All Progressives Congress(APC) has emerged the winner of the 28 March 2015 presidential elections with an overall result of 15,306,629 as against the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan's 12,719,963.

Though the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to officially announce the final results, it is obvious the opposition party has won.

The election was perceived to be based on a handful of realities, prominent among which were religious and ethnic sentiments, it has been also alleged that the ruling PDP was also voted out of power on the bases of his inability to address the security and corruption challenges that bedevilled the country under his watch.

As at press time, the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan, is said to have called on the winner of the 2015 presidential election, President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, to concede defeat and congratulate him. This is the first time an incumbent president of Nigeria is unseated by the opposition.

This is a rare demonstration of believe in Nigeria's democratic process by the incumbent president.

The Sicilian club's president announces that he is ready to cash in on

the 21-year-old Argentine, who has attracted the interest of big teams

both at home and abroad

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has confirmed that Paulo Dybala will

leave the club this summer, revealing that Juventus and Napoli are among

those chasing the striker. Dybala has been one of the revelations

of the Serie A season, netting 12 goals in 27 appearances, which has prompted

talk of a lucrative summer move away from Sicily.Manchester United are

also monitoring

the 21-year-old player, who has himself admitted he would like to join

Barcelona, and Zamparini has confirmed that he will cash in on the

forward at the end of the current campaign.

“It's clear that Paulo will leave,” he told Live Sicilia. “Indeed,

we're looking for

another striker. “At home we only have [Andrea] Belotti

so, besides him, we will have another forward [for next season].”

Zamparini admitted, though, that he is unsure if Dybala will remain in Italy or

move abroad, though he has previously expressed a preference to keep the

youngster in Serie A .

“It's 50-50,” he told GR Parlamento. “After Easter, I will see Dybala's agent,

who is working well for the boy'sfuture.

“I'm in contact with [Juve sporting director Giuseppe] Marotta. I know

that he's interested but he must hurry himself. I have other teams on

[Dybala].” Indeed, Zamparini announced that Napoli president Aurelio

De Laurentiis is also keen on the forward but the Palermo supremo was

quick to add that he will not allow his prized asset to move on for

anything like the €17 million (£12.4m) that took Edinson Cavani to the

Stadio San Paolo in 2010. “De Laurentiis would like him but I told him

I won't have another Cavani situation,” he declared. “This time,

onemust break the bank.”

Reliable information from Peter Okwoche of the BBC has it that 19 of the 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja has their election results collated and announced.

Of these 19 states, the major opposition party, the All Progressives Congress(APC)'s presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari(Rtd) is leading in the ongoing presidential polls by a whooping 2.3 million votes.

However, election pundits cautions that we cannot affirm which candidate will emerge the winner seeing that 19 additional states' election results are yet to be collated and announced.

According to the electoral umpire, INEC, collation and announcement of results will commence from 10.00 am today.

The teething question running to and fro the minds of virtually every Nigerian is: Who will become Nigeria's next President -Buhari or Jonathan?

More updates are on the way. This update correct an earlier publication that put collated results at 27 states, and 3 million leadership by Buhari. It was an oversight.

    The Presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress Muhammadu Buhari leads so far based on collated poll results from 95 percent of Nigeria’s polling units.

    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will resume the official release of the poll figures at 10 a.m. Nigerian time today- Tuesday.

    The APC candidate has secured at least twenty-five percent of votes cast in two-thirds of Nigeria’s 36 states. Buhari has so far won 14,855,820 million votes, with President Goodluck Jonathan having 12,107,628 million votes.

The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), Nigeria's electoral umpire, had announced in the early hours of today, about 12 am, that it will resume its announcement of the collated  results Tuesday 31 March by 10 am.

As it stands, the collated results from 27 states of the federation has been announced, and the candidate of the main opposition party, Mohammadu Buhari, is leading the incumbent president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, by a very wide margin.

It's been speculated that the opposition All Progressives Congress(APC) is leading the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) by 3 million votes. However, the winner of Nigeria's tightly contested presidential elections cannot be inferred as the strong hold of the PDP's Jonathan, mainly the Niger Delta region, is yet to be collated and announced.

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria stipulates that the winner in any Presidential elections must have 25% of registered voters out of 24 states. The implication for 2015 Presidential elections is that should either of the major contenders -Buhari or Jonathan, fail to meet this requirement, then INEC may be forced to conduct a rerun of the presidential elections.

Main while, in Cross River state it has been rumoured that INEC's result sheet for the National Assembly elections, hotly contested for by the ruling PDP, whose candidates are Gershom Bassey(Senate) and Rt. Hon. Essien Ayi(House of Representatives),  and the major opposition, the Labour Party(LP) whose candidates are Sen. Bassey Edet Otu(Senate) and Dominic Aqua Edem(House of Representatives) has been hijacked by the governor, HE Senator Liyel Imoke who is of the PDP. This hijacking by the governor is believed to secure a win for the PDP especially Gershom Bassey who is perceived not to be the darling of the electorates in the states.

Security agents were seen to be deployed to the major ply routes of the state like Marian road, Eta-Agbor road, etc to frustrate any act of demonstration from a disgruntled public who may decide to take the laws into their hands.
