As it stands, the remaining contest here happens to be between Atiku and Kwankwaso for the second position with Rochas giving a hot chase. As for Nda'Isaiah, the last time he got a vote, there was a loud applause in the stands. His agent appears to be cooling off. The call of Buhari as votes are being sorted is quite overwhelming and the agents here have had to substitute themselves due to the tiring task at hand.
 * It appears everyone here especially the media men are just waiting to break the news of Buhari's emergence...not much to break anyway because this is obvious...

GMB still maintaining the lead with Red Cap Revolutionist, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, showing the north came divided. Atiku's purported dollar sharing might probably not be making the decided impact as he he struggling to maintain the 3rd position.
