Pre-Election ANALYSIS: How Jonathan, Buhari, Stand In Nigeria's 36 States

 Apparently six days to the election D-day, PUNCH newspaper has drawn up a comparison between the strengths and weaknesses of the more formidable presidential candidates, President Goodluck Jonathan and Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in all states in Nigeria.

PUNCH predicts a Jonathan win in Abia state due to the strong influence of his party there. With people like Governor Theodore Orji, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former senate President Adulphus Wabara amongst others, it is expected to be a cakewalk for the president.

His marital tie - Dame Patience's mother hails from Abia state - helps matters further.

In Abuja - the iron throne of Nigeria's Westeros - it is expected that President Jonathan should, by default, hold sway here, but the PUNCH analysis says that the city of civil servants may currently be equally divided between Jonathan and Buhari.

Although there is PDP influence here, there is also formidable APC influence as well. While President Jonathan has lived here for the past six years, one cannot dismiss the fact that Abuja is primarily Northern territory and thus Buhari-inclined.
