Buhari has won the presidential election in key Southwest States.

President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) may just have done enough to win four Southwest States, as results continue to trickle in from the general elections conducted on Saturday, February 23, 2019.

Pulse can confirm that Buhari defeated Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti, Lagos, Osun and Ogun—even if by the slimmest of margins.

Official data just arriving the Pulse Situation Room relays that Buhari polled 347, 674 votes in Osun while Atiku polled 337, 377 votes. 

Buhari scored 219, 231 votes in Ekiti to beat Atiku who polled 154,032 votes. 

In Lagos, unconfirmed polling result handed Buhari 1,213,492 votes to Atiku’s 1,087,307.

It is unclear who is winning the presidential ballot in Oyo and Ondo at the time of filing this report, even though Pulse has been told that while Oyo remains too close to call, Atiku is leading in Ondo.

Pulse can also report that Buhari is leading Atiku in a handful of northern states.

We can also report that the PDP candidate is beating Buhari in traditional PDP strongholds in the Southeast and South-South regions of Nigeria.

For instance, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states, Pulse has been told, have gone the way of Atiku and the PDP.

Postponement of results announcement

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) put forward the collation and announcement of the vote from 6pm of Sunday, February 24 to 11am on Monday, February 25, because collation officers from the 36 states were yet to arrive the capital city of Abuja with their result sheets.

The presidential candidate with the most votes will be declared winner of the election as long as he obtains at least one-quarter of the vote cast in two-thirds of Nigeria’s 36 states and the capital (that is 24 states).

Most simply defined, an entrepreneur is a person who identifies a need and starts a business to fill that void. But this basic definition provides little insight into the specific character traits and attributes that make a person thrive as an entrepreneur. Before quitting your day job to pursue that idea that's been brewing in the back of your mind, consider if you have the necessary constitution to make it as an entrepreneur. Here's what 20 company founders and business leaders told Business News Daily about what they think makes a truly successful entrepreneur.  1. "Entrepreneurship is at the core of the American dream. It's about  blazing new trails , about believing in yourself, your mission and inspiring others to join you in the journey.

"Entrepreneurship is the persistent progression towards an innovative sol...

The Nigeria Labour Congress on Wednesday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the new minimum wage bill. The NLC said  since the National Assembly approved the new minimum wage of N30,000 and passed it to the President for his assent nothing had been heard about it. The union’s Head of Information and Public Affairs, Benson Upah, who spoke to our correspondent on the issue, said  workers would be grateful if Buhari signed the bill  this month. He said, “The President constituted a committee that worked on the figure that was submitted to him and he sent it to the National Assembly as an executive bill. Similarly, the National Assembly legislated on it and sent back to the President for  his assent. “We have no reason to doubt that the President will not sign it into law; his body language does not suggest that he will not sign it. .....
