2815 Presidential Election: My Take Away

The 2015 general elections may have come and gone, but the commentaries and analysis of thre elections and its outcome will linger on for quite some time.

The independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, the winner of the keenly contested elections. I have one or two things as take away from this election.

1.        The votes was widely cast according to ethnic lines

2.       The Northern and South westerners used their high voting population to the advantage of the APC

3.       The 2015 election can be described as the freest and fairest of elections in Nigeria

4.       The statesmanship and shrewdness of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was astonishing. He proved all doubters wrong and just like a Samurai, he showed, practically, that his words are his bond; history will be very kind to him

5.       The President, by his act of humility, has made himself, the Father of Modern democracy in Nigeria

6.       The APC has preached change, we await their having to practicalize change

The Electoral umpire, Prof. Attahiru Jega should be commended for the mannerism of his conduct of the elections. He rose above all odds and pressures, to show tht integrity is not lack of opportunity, but a free choice!!!
