  1. The Silent majority who are not too vocal on the social media space will speak with their votes tommorrow.Then the vocal minority will understand that elections are game of numbers.

  2. Atiku will win by the special grace of God, we are in darkness therefore we need vibrant and eligible leader who can redeem this nation Nigeria from this mess up up Atiku

  3. President Buhari will be the clear winner. We cannot afford a return to PDP’s corruption risen administrations. Never

  4. Atiku will win the presidential election with landslide, but Buhari will be declared the winner with slight margin above Atiku……and what will happen next you’ll be in the best position to tell us.
