The pendulum in the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary going at Teslim Balagon Stadium Lagos has swung in favour of General Muhammed Buhari.
The indication came after the votes cast former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was counted ad he recorded a paltry 954 votes out of the over 7, 000 votes cast by delegates.
Atiku was meant to be only serious challenger to the former military head of state, who had hitherto run unsuccessfully for the presidency for three times.
The last time, in 2011, Buhari had said that would his last attempt, but as the current electioneering dispensation dawned he changed his mind to contest.
It is obvious that former military dictator, General Mohammedu Buhari, Rtd, will record a landslide victory as Atiku was expected to be his major challenger.
The retired general who enjoys some form cult followership in some states in the northern part of the country struggles to make strong imprint in the Middle Belt and southern states, where he seen as a religious bigot.
