BBN Sensual»»» Vivacious Vickie
At first, when Vickie informed me my mother had called me, I didn't take her serious. How can my mother call me when I was almost at pleasure's peak, like what kind of a Mother does that?
"JONATHAAAN…" She called out again
Hearing my name roar out of my mother's mouth as she was approaching my room, I quickly jumped up from Vickie like her body had suddenly become too hot for me to handle. I packed my "belongings" (c•nd•m and all) back into my boxer shorts and hurriedly wore my trousers.
Vickie giggled when she saw me dressing up in frenzy, she herself putting all her valuables back into place. By then my mother had gotten quite close to my door and hollering my name again, I replied and opened the door to find her standing just outside. She eyed me for a few seconds, before looking inside to find Vickie seated on the plastic chair, deeply engrossed with pretence in the very Christian novel Mom had given me to read.
My mom looked at me and asked why I didn't reply when she called me earlier. I hadn't yet cooked up a lie to cover up for what I have been doing when she called. That moment I knew if I had opened my mouth, I knew I was going to stammer and raise a heck of suspicion in my mom, but just before the first words left my mouth…
"He blocked his ears with his earphones" Vickie interrupted, pointing to my Walkman on the bed.
I didn't remember putting it there. She must have done that within the split seconds it took me to walk to open the door, before sitting down with the novel. Wow! I looked at Vickie, our eyes met, and I could see a familiar glint in them. What a very sharp girl, I had thought to myself.
My mother now satisfied that nothing out of the ordinary was going on in her son's bedroom. She informed me that dinner was ready should Vickie care to join us?
"I'm about to leave, ma" Vickie said. I escorted Vickie outside, condom still wrapped around my flaccid p3nis but I didn't seem to be bothered.
We kept quiet for the better part of our journey to her area, until Vickie giggled. I asked her why she was giggling and she reminded me that I still had that condom on my d¡ck. I was supposed to be embarrassed, but I laughed with her. She asked me why I had not removed it yet and I replied I would when I get home. She laughed some more, louder even. She told me to stop behaving like a child and remove it right there on the road. It never occurred to me that I could do such.
I was just so ashamed of myself but I did as instructed and dispose of the first c•nd•m which never held the content of my orgasm. I hadn't cl¡maxed, and I wasn't happy for that. I wanted to do her again but I was wondering how to tell her about it. The words kept coming to my mouth but I just couldn't say them. Just when I thought the night was over and nothing new could come out of it…
"Has a girl sucked you before?" She asked.
My heart almost stopped beating and my mouth was wide open. I had intended to feign surprise, but honestly I was surprised. Chioma was the first and only girl to suck my d¡ck, but Vickie didn't know about Chioma.
"No, but I've fantasized a lot about it" I lied
"Hmmm, do you want me to do it?" Vickie asked. I thought she was crazy. I was even beginning to wonder if this was the real Vickie or if it was a clone of her asking me these things.
"Uhmmnn, well, yeah, but we can't do it right now so…" I said.
"Who said we can't? Come joor, there's an uncompleted building before we get to my house. Let's go there…" She said
I had told my mother I would return as quickly as I could before my dinner gets cold, but getting on with what Vickie had in mind for me only meant I was entirely shunning dinner for the evening, Fuck Dinner!
The thoughts of Vickie's lips around my c•ck filled my thoughts and killed every food craving. By the time we got to the uncompleted building, it was almost dark. Vickie took me into one of the rooms which didn't have much grass on it. We didn't want to be there engaging in s3xual pleasures while snakes observed us. Vickie told me to rest against the wall and she went down and unzipped my fly, reaching in to grab my erecting penis as it anticipated the warmth of her mouth.
I held my hands against the wall and let her do her thing. Chioma's bl•wj•b had been the sweetest thing to me a few months ago, but when Vickie started with hers, I knew Chioma was such a Learner.
Vickie's tongue did all the magic, twirling and slurping all over my c•ck and making me move my hips as the sensation rocked my entire body. I held her head with both hands and sometimes tried to push her away when the sensations became too much for one penis to bear.
Her lips continued kissing, licking and sucking on my d¡ck going back and forth, literally trying to suck the life out of it. While she sucked, she moaned like she was having the best ice cream in the world. When she realized that I could no longer control the movement of my hips and how my cock plunged deeper into her mouth, she got up, quickly turned around, raised her skirt, pulled down her panty and held my cock, directing it into her coochie with an expertise that got me astounded, confused and extremely pleasured at the same time.
Just as her orifice slowly swallowed the whole length of my d¡ck, the whole Chioma-pregnancy incident just popped into my brain again, but the feel of my dick inside the tightness and warmth of Victoria's coochie at the time overpowered me. I grabbed her hips and pounded her with all the vigour I could muster. Her little "oohs" and "aahs" simultaneously sounding with the "pam…pam…pam" sounds my hip made every time it hit her soft a$$-cheeks. Before long, I felt the coming of that glorious orgasm once more. It was so glorious, that I reached in front and grabbed Vickie's b••bs while my dick thrust into her at such speed I never knew I had. The feeling was beyond intense; my scream tore through the darkness of the night that had come upon us.
My heart beat so fast that I was afraid it would give up. Vickie's orifice was so wet with the mixture of our juices that I just let my dick continue seeking entrance into it even when I knew the best part of the deed was done. I think that day was the very first day that I realized I shared a love-hate relationship with orgasms.
After it had given me such an exhilarating feeling, it was gone, leaving me wanting more, but not able to get it. When Vickie was all dressed up again, we shared a small passionate k¡ss, before she told me goodbye and ran off to her house. I just stood there looking at her run as I wondered who the girl was and what she had done with the Victoria that left for the university hostel…
"JONATHAAAN…" She called out again

President Jonathan Halts PDP Plan To Contest Presidential Election At Tribunal
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
President Goodluck Jonathan may have prevailed on the Peoples Democratic Party not to challenge the victory of President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, in Saturday's election.
Instead of planning a case for the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, the Presidency will raise a Transition Committee on Tuesday, a source has told The Nation. Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, is likely to head the All Progressives Congress team, which will join the committee ahead of the May 29 transition.
Ministers have started preparing their handover notes, The Nation said it also learnt. It was gathered that although some PDP stalwarts wanted the victory of Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, challenged at the tribunal, the President thought otherwise.
The party stalwarts, it was said, believe that some irregularities in some states are strong enough to upturn the final results of the election, which was hailed at home and abroad as substantially credible.
Jonathan, it was learnt, said it made no sense contesting Buhari's victory after he had conceded defeat.
It was learnt that the PDP leaders referred to the electoral scenario in Ekiti State where the APC went to tribunal despite the acceptance of defeat by ex-Governor Kayode Fayemi. The President, however, stood his ground that he would rather stand by his statesmanship attitude than going to the tribunal.
A source, who spoke in confidence, said: "The President has prevailed on PDP to drop plans to go to tribunal against Buhari. He said he wants his word to be his bond, having been applauded by the international community.
"At a point, Jonathan said: 'I don't believe in post-election petition at tribunal because it distracts the incoming administration.' "He also said Nigeria must emulate other nations where once the presidential poll is lost and won, the new government must not be distracted with election petitions.
"He told party leaders that he was not interested in going to the tribunal. It is now left for PDP leaders to heed his advice. "So as at Thursday, the government's position is that the PDP should not go to tribunal."

Identical Triplets Marry In Grand Style...
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Guests at a wedding in southern Brazil might have thought they had had too much champagne to drink, but they were not seeing triple. There were indeed three identical brides.
Triplets Rafaela, Rochele and Tagiane Bini were married on March 21 in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in a joint ceremony, fulfilling their childhood dream of walking down the aisle together.
The 29-year-old sisters appeared in the same white mermaid gown, with identical hairstyles and matching veils. The only distinction was the color of their bouquets.
The trio has done everything together since they were young, and dreamed of getting married on the same day.
Their father was beaming as he gave them away.
"We walked together to the middle of the aisle and from there, I walked each one down the aisle individually," said their proud father Pedro.
The brides spent six hours at the salon getting hair and makeup done. A few styles were tested, but the vote on the final look — a low, pulled back bun — was unanimous.
There were 18 groomsmen in attendance, each wearing different colors depending on which wedding party they were with.
After the vows, the lucky grooms — there were three of them too — each dipped their new brides for a kiss for a memorable wedding portrait.

Court To Decide On Ambode Disqualification On April 8
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed April 8 to rule in a suit praying for the nullification of the Lagos State All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Akinwumi Ambode.
Governorship election holds on April 11.
The plaintiffs – Olorunfemi Oluwatosin and Dada Joseph- are seeking an order of perpetual injunction to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission from allowing APC to field any governorship candidate for the governorship poll in Lagos.
The plaintiffs' argument is that the party's primary that produced Ambode as the APC governorship candidate was fraught with and predicated on irregularities.
According to them, inasmuch as delegates from the 37 Local Council Development Areas of Lagos were allowed to participate in the APC ward congresses, the outcome was null and void.
The plaintiffs argued that in line with the provisions of the Constitution and the Electoral Act, the party ward congress was meant to be conducted only in the 20 existing local government areas in the state.
Besides, they argued that the non-use of open ballot system during the ward congresses was u not procedural and illegal.
In their originating summons, which was filed shortly before the APC ward congresses last year, the plaintiffs, who are members of the party, had asked the court to restrain all the aspirants from participating in the primary.
Apart from the APC and INEC, other defendants in the suit are all the aspirants that contested against Ambode. They include Senator Ganiyu Solomon, Dr. Leke Pitan, Akin Ambode, Tayo Ayinde and Olasupo Shasore.
Others are Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, Mrs. Tokunbo Agbesanwa, Dr. Tola Kasali, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, Lanre Ope, Tokunbo Wahab, Adekunle Disu and Abayomi Sutton.

The APC had in response to the plaintiffs' claims filed a preliminary objection.
The party is contending that Justice Mohammed Yunusa lack jurisdiction in the matter and that the plaintiffs have no locus standi to institute the action.
The party maintained that inasmuch as the plaintiffs did not participate in the primary, they had no legal right to complain about the manner in which it was conducted.
It added, "The conduct of the ward congresses for Lagos State gubernatorial primary nomination was done in the constitutionally recognised 20 Local Government Areas in Lagos State and not in the 37 Local Council Development Areas as alleged by the plaintiffs.
"The plaintiffs have not disclosed any injury that the conduct of the ward congresses in the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas has caused them, either individually and or collectively."
The party described the plaintiffs' case as academic, malafide, an abuse of court processes and one that was targeted at embarrassing the party.
It therefore asked the court to immediately dismiss the suit.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Romania's richest main, Ioan Niculae, the billionaire head of an agro-industrial conglomerate, was sentenced Thursday to two and a half years in prison for his involvement in illegal financing of the 2009 presidential campaign.
The Bucharest appeal court also condemned a former official of the ruling Social Democrats as well as two businessmen, the Mediafax agency reported.
Gheorghe Bunea Stancu, former head of a Social Democrat affiliate in Braila, eastern Romania, was found to have used his influence to obtain a million euros ($1.09 million) from Niculae for illegal financing of an electoral campaign.
Niculae, owner of agrotech company Interagro asked in return for people to be appointed in the economy ministry who would support his business goals, in the event of an election win by Social Democrat candidate Mircea Geoana.
Geoana lost that presidential campaign to conservative Traian Basescu.
60-year-old Niculae, a keen hunter, is also at the centre of a scandal over low price public gas deliveries to private companies.

French President Francois Hollande spoke with President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on the telephone on Thursday and invited him to Paris for discussions on the expansion of trade between France and Nigeria.
A statement by the French Embassy in Abuja said the French leader congratulated Buhari on his success and noted the peaceful and fair electoral process which had enhanced Nigeria's democracy.
"The French head of state assured the President-elect of France's wish to continue the close relationship that existed with his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, and reiterated France's support for Nigeria and its neighbours in their efforts to combat the terrorist sect, Boko Haram," the statement added.
Hollande also expressed his wish to expand trade between France and Nigeria and invited his Nigerian counterpart to Paris.

Hollande also expressed his wish to expand trade between France and Nigeria and invited his Nigerian counterpart to Paris.
Also, a former Petroleum Minister, Chief Don Etiebet, congratulated Buhari for his resilience.
He said Buhari's resilience was an indication that he is a true patriot, a man who placed the love of his country above every other thing.
Etiebet also commended the sportsmanship attitude which President Jonathan displayed in accepting the defeat.
He added that Jonathan's attitude had shown that there were leaders in the country who would not risk the unity of Nigeria for their personal interests.
"Kudos to President Jonathan for being such an exemplary statesman. Nigeria is proud of you," he said.
He, however, stated that the actions of the two leaders demonstrated a new beginning in Nigeria. He said this was bound to take the country on new paths of democracy and development as the alternation of political leadership brings about true democracy and good governance based on the competitiveness of their performance.
According to him, Nigerians love Jonathan and that the new government will not forget the roles he played and the transformation agenda he put in place.
He noted that the action had also proven to the rest of the world that Nigeria is, indeed, the biggest democracy in Africa.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Nigeria's number one goalkeeper and captain, Vincent Enyeama, has hinted of his retirement from the team as he urged the coaches to intensify the search for a suitable replacement for him.
Vincent Enyeama has said the country must
start preparing someone to take over from him.
Enyeama, who featured in his 100th game for Nigeria in a friendly against Uganda last Wednesday, say he'd love to keep on playing
for as long as possible, but admits he'll have to give way at some point.
"I tell you the truth, I will love to stay as long as
possible but at some time, you need to let it go. You need to let others take over," he said.
"I really wish I can go on forever but I can't. Nigeria should start grooming someone to take over from me, and that is what I wish.
"But for now I don't know how long I can go so there has to be someone to take over.

Keshi Finally Swallows Pride, Apologises For Super Eagles Failure
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Coach Stephen Keshi has offered apology to the country after failing to qualify the Super Eagles for the Equatorial Guinea Africa Cup of
Nations staged earlier this year.
The former Mali and Togo handler has been in the news of recent with speculations rife that he might be given a second chance of handling the country despite failing to reach the 2015 Afcon as well as having scores to settle with some top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation.
In a chat with journalists, his media aide Emmanuel Ado described the relationship between the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF and Stephen Keshi as of mutual respect and insists differences between them will be resolved amicably in the interest of the game.
"Keshi has always related well with Amaju as a brother and as Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission before now. The chairman's passion and achievements over the years bear eloquent testimony to what he is capable of replicating in his new job at the NFF," Ado told media.
"After the 2013 Nations Cup, Amaju was instrumental to Delta State Government hosting the team and the renaming of the Asaba township stadium after Stephen Keshi.
"This is contrary to insinuations being made in some quarters, that Keshi and Amaju can never work together.
"For the information of all, both men understand that in the interest of Nigerian football they must work together to move Nigeria football forward. The lessons of the last few months is that united we win and divided we fail."
"Allow me to state unequivocally that there will always be differences, but it is how these differences are managed that is critical. So moving forward I expect that the board, the media ,the fans and the coach would continue to rub minds on issues that will help our football, but once the coach takes a decision he should be supported."
The former Super Eagles skipper was attributed to have called the NFF president a liar over contractual terms but Ado reacted tagging
the allegation as false while also pleading for forgiveness for the Afcon 2015 miss.
"Keshi is ever decorous and will never use such word for the president of the federation. He is too cultured to use such a word."Those who profit from sensationalism as a way of life, create chaos by twisting facts out of context only to suit their own purpose," he continued.
" Everyone has realised that the deliberate falsehoods planted in the media by enemies of progress who believe they are helping both men, is a big disservice to the image of both men and the federation.
"I am happy that everyone has realized that and are determined not to allow the situation to continue, And that what they need is for the Super Eagles to return to playing and winning well," he concluded.

The Challenges Before The APC New Government
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
By Taiwo Okanlawon
When democracy came to stay on May 29th 1999, Nigerians were pleased that they were ready to reap bounteously the dividends of democracy that have long eluded them under the gripping of the military.
After sixteen years of democratic rule, as led by the People's Democratic Party, condition of living seemingly looks same as Nigerians still groan under untold hardships, as the nation's affairs degenerate to the worse situations.
The increasing tensions in the North apparently seem loosely attended to as economic degradation, corruption and nepotism, get on the increase by the day. Past and Present administrations of the Peoples Democratic Party have continued to tell Nigerians that the government is near somewhere, and that it has been fighting corruption, rebasing the economic and providing quality living with little to show for it. Many Nigerians home and abroad believed that Jonathan will be the Messiah to rescue the nation from its economic whores and battle corruption to the last breathe but his coming was gifted with crises, corruption and challenges that tended to hinder the progress of the nation.
For Major-General Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress, APC, the road to the presidency has been long and twisted. But with determination, much improvement on the APC structures and with the Nigerian people on his side, it is hoped that having become the president, tentatively, he would exhibit the courage to take the nation to desired heights.
Gen. Buhari had run repeatedly for the presidency for four consecutive times in 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015. With his emergence as president-elect, (1 April, 2015), his unrelenting pursuit to attain the federal political office is an example of persistence Nigerians should emulate.
It is unarguably a staggering duty to govern a society, and it becomes much more frightening, in a society such as Nigeria with an uncertain sociopolitical and economic environment.
Now that Nigerians are bringing in new government, it is hoped that the APC would bring the anticipated change that Nigerians desire and usher in a new era of politics, thus, bringing integrity to governance. For the APC government to deliver on his promises for Nigeria, the government must restructure nation's socioeconomic and political baring.
Gen. Buhari told TheNews Magazine during an interview in December 2003, "I think this country is in a mess." He has constantly demonstrated his belief that the mess could be cleaned up and it would be morning again in Nigeria. If good people run away from the mess, it would only get messier. This has been his tune since January 1984. He said on his assumption of office as Head of State: "This generation of Nigerians and really future generations have no other country than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together."
Nigerians were fearfully concerned on how the federal government can tackle the biting and caustic corruption, education, agriculture and power failure, and I believe if General Buhari is still in the "salvage operation", he must fight corruption to the last breathe.
It's generally believed that government is meant to protect her citizens and property but in Nigeria the reverse is the case. Many people had been innocently killed while property worth millions of naira destroyed for no just cause and the federal government has abysmally failed to bring the unsympathetic committers to book.
For the security challenges, Buhari's background as military general should be an easy way of producing adequate security for lives and properties of every Nigerians. Even though the insurgents in the Northeast recently pushed back, Buhari, as President and Commander-in-Chief from May 29 will now be saddled with the heavy task of rebuilding devastated communities in the North-east and resettling millions of internally displaced persons.
Corruption is one of major obstacles to Nigeria development, it has created so many fake billionaires in Nigeria, people who do nothing other than ruin the economy and diminish the people. It is clear that ninety-nine percent of the wealthy Nigerians today made their money directly or indirectly from the government coffers either through the inflation of contracts sum, embezzlement of public funds and corruption of all sort, Buhari must urgently attend to this uneven trend.
Another challenge the new government is going to face lies in educational sector that are not designed for the contemporary economy. They lack the tools to produce good quality graduates to manage the affairs of the nation. Majority of graduates lack the skills that drive human productivity. Increase in productivity would enlarge the nation's economic pie and reduce poverty and crime.
Conclusively, Nigeria has always had the wrong people in authority. The day the right people begin to rule, Nigeria will be so transformed. The country don't need to import anything to make it great, all the components for vastness are here with us. What we need are leaders who can tie together these potentials and unleash us to greatness

Orji Uzor Kanu Loses Senate Bid, Alleges Irregularities
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Former governor of Abia State and Abia North senatorial candidate for the Progressive Peoples Alliance, Orji Kalu, came a distant third as the Independent National Electoral Commission, on Thursday, released the complete results of the March 28 National Assembly polls in the state.
In a comprehensive result sheet made available to our correspondent by the Public Relations Officer of INEC in Abia State, Edwin Inabor, Kalu came a distant third behind Mao Ohuabunwa of the Peoples Democratic Party and David Ogba of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
Ohuabunwa secured 40,027 votes to win the elections, ahead of David Ogba of APGA who got 28, 055 votes and Kalu with 27, 002 votes.
However, the PPA, the APC and APGA, have before now contested the possible outcome of the results, alleging widespread manipulation and rigging.
Kalu, who had previously claimed victory in the polls, had in a petition to INEC dated March 29, 2015 alleged flagrant breach of Electoral Act 2010 in the conduct of the elections.
The petition, which was signed by Peter Njoku, and copied to the INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, rejected the possible outcome of the election on the grounds of failure of card readers, intimidation, and harassment of voters, snatching of ballot boxes, delay in the announcement of results at the various polling units, and gross mutilation of result sheets.
It also demanded the cancellation of the exercise and called for a re-run.
The petition read in part, "In the light of the above highlighted, we demand the outright cancellation of the elections and order a re-run of the exercise as allowing the outcome of the election will amount to daylight robbery of the people's right to choose the representatives of their choice."
Results for the federal constituencies were also released and the PDP won all federal constituency seats, except Aba North and South federal constituencies which were won by APGA.
Inabor refused to entertain questions on the issues surrounding the results, but our correspondent gathered that some of the results have been undergoing reviews because of the avalanche of complaints received by the commission concerning the exercise.

How The Next Nigerian Senate Would Look Like...76 Senators Not Returning
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Atleast 76 out of the current 109 members in the Senate, will not be among the senators that would be inaugurated in the 8th National Assembly which is due to start in June this year.
Investigations revealed that some of the current members of the Senate did not contest the March 28 National Assembly election either because they were denied their party's tickets, or they are interested in the governorship seats of their states.
Some senators however contested the last federal parliamentary election and lost in their various constituencies.
Further findings revealed that 33 of the senators won elections in the various constituencies in the March 28 poll.
In the South-West, for instance, only five out of the 18 senators from the zone are returning to the red chamber.
They are Senators Gbenga Ashafa and Oluremi Tinubu (Lagos); Robert Boroffice (Ondo); and Babajide Omoworare and Olusola Adeyeye (Osun).
The Tsunami also affected the South-East zone, as six senators, like Eyinnaya Abaribe (Abia), Andy Uba (Anambra), Soni Ogbuoji (Ebonyi), Ike Ekweremadu and Gilbert Nnaji (Enugu) and Hope Uzodinma (Imo), made the list.
In the South-South, only Senators Emmanuel Paulker (Bayelsa) and James Manager (Delta) would return to the Senate.
In the North-Central, Senators Bukola Saraki and Shaaba Lafiaji (Kwara); David Mark, George Akume and Barnabas Gemade (Benue); Abdullahi Adamu (Nasarawa) and Joshua Dariye (Plateau) won the poll and returned.
In the North-East, Senators Ahmed Zannah (Borno); Danjuma Goje and Joshua Lidani (Gombe); Emmanuel Bwacha (Taraba); Bukhar Ibrahim and Ahmad Lawan (Yobe); and Kabiru Marafa and Ahmad Sani (Zamfara) were returned by their constituents.
Those who made it in the North-West are Senators Kabiru Gaya (Kano) and Ibrahim Abu (Katsina).
Meanwhile, the incoming senators that would constitute the 8th Senate include 60 All Progressives Congress senators and 49 Peoples Democratic Party members.
The breakdown of the 60 seats won in the Senate by the APC shows that the party cleared 20 out of the available 21 senatorial seats in the North-West, comprising Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Kebbi, Kaduna and Katsina states.
It clinched 12 out of the available 18 senatorial seats in the north-eastern states of Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi and Gombe.
It also delivered 13 out of the available 18 senatorial seats in the north-central states of Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Nasarawa, Benue and Plateau.
Others are 13 out of the available 18 senatorial seats in the south-western states of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti, in addition to the only one seat it won in the entire south-south geo- political zone, precisely from Edo North.
However, the entire 15 senatorial seats available in the South-East, comprising Ebonyi, Enugu, Abia, Anambra and Imo states, form the bulk of the 49 seats won by the PDP.
These are 17 seats from the South-South; five from the South-West; five from the North-Central; three from the North-East and one from the North-West.

Father Mbaka Says He Has Been Vindicated By Buhari's Victory
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Fiery Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has congratulated Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on his victory in the March 28 presidential election.
Mbaka, whose New Year Message, "From Goodluck to Badluck," became a major talking point during the campaigns for the election, said Buhari's emergence was a divine victory for all Nigerians.
Speaking through his spokesman, Maximus Ugwuoke, Mbaka also noted that Buhari's victory was a fulfillment of his prophecy in the New Year Message.
However, he urged Buhari to seek divine wisdom before appointing people into his cabinet.
He noted that President Goodluck Jonathan's biggest problem was that he surrounded himself with the 'wrong people.'
Mbaka advised Buhari to avoid making the same mistake.
The cleric said, "It is with vindictive joy and glory to God that the Adoration Ministry, the nation and indeed the world saw the fulfillment of Fr. Mbaka's New Year prophesy of change with the miraculous, victorious emergence of Gen.Muhammadu Buhari at the March 28 polls as the President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
"We wish to restate that before President Goodluck became the President of this country, Fr. Mbaka prophesied it in his message titled 'Okolo.'
"Today again, Buhari's victory among other lessons it portends for Nigerians has once more confirmed to all and sundry that Fr. Mbaka is indeed a true Prophet of God and that his New Year message was indeed from the Oracle of the Holy Spirit as he declared.
"The ministry with magnanimous heart holds no grudges against anyone who attacked it in one way or the other at the rage of the controversies surrounding Fr. Mbaka's message and view their actions as being orchestrated by their misconstruing of Fr. Mbaka's prophetic calling.
"The Ministry joins the rest of Nigerians to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari as God's chosen instrument of change to tackle the myriads of problems facing Nigeria and pray God to endow him with the wisdom to go about this onerous task."
Mbaka, whose New Year Message, "From Goodluck to Badluck," became a major talking point during the campaigns for the election, said Buhari's emergence was a divine victory for all Nigerians.
Speaking through his spokesman, Maximus Ugwuoke, Mbaka also noted that Buhari's victory was a fulfillment of his prophecy in the New Year Message.
However, he urged Buhari to seek divine wisdom before appointing people into his cabinet.
