According to the Constitution, even if a candidate emerges with the highest number of votes, but fails to get AT LEAST 25% in ⅔ of the states (ie 24 states), there'll be rerun between the first and the runner-up. Buhari will most likely poll the highest number but fail to satisfy the condition, leading to a charged rerun in the whole federation, and then Atiku wins.

If that is what it will take to send dullard back to daura, so be it but it shouldn't be so since Atiku wins him hands down, with all the disruption and everything in the PDP strongholds

2/3 of 36 is 24. Buhari and Atiku will get 25% in at least 24 states. So the winner will be based on the highest number of votes by the candidate. There cannot be a rerun.

Do you know politics at all? Buhari would get 25% in all the 19 Northern States, 25% in the whole 6 States in the Southwest, 25% in Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom; 25% in Imo, Ebonyi and Abia. Add these States together, you will get 31. So Buhari would get 25% and above in at least 31 States plus FCT.

So you're now hoping on a rerun for Atiku to win? It seems it's now dawned on you that Atiku can't stand Baba. grin cheesy

Of course, I know APC's desperation to win at all cost will be tripled, but I think that's the only hope for an Atiku win.

The Constitution (I've read it almost cover to cover) says "AT LEAST". Even if a candidate wins 97% in 23 states and has less than 25% (like APC in the SS or SE), that candidate cannot be declared winner.

25%in Abuja detemines the winner.
