Amazing Things That Happened During The Just Concluded Election by lafex: 9:09am On Apr 16, 2015
*It is the first time in this Fourth Republic (i.e. 1999 to 2015) that the PDP would lose power at the centre and many of the states (Both executive and legislative arms).

*It is the first time two deputy governors would be elected governors to succeed their principals. This happened in Kano and Ebonyi states.

*It is the first time three governorship elections will be declared inconclusive(Imo, Abia and Taraba States).

*It is the first time an opposition political party would defeat the ruling party in states like Kaduna, Niger, Katsina, Adamawa, Plateau, and Benue.

*It is the first time peace accords would be signed by political parties and their candidates contesting presidential and governorship elections.

*It is the first time many candidates would
concede defeat and call to congratulate the winners. This happened first at the national level when President Goodluck Jonathan called to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari on March 31, 2015. This exemplary conduct had been emulated by defeated governorship candidates in Niger, Benue, Adamawa, Lagos, Kaduna, and Oyo States.

*It is also the first time so many incumbent governors will lose their senatorial ambitions to the opposition party. This happened in Adamawa, Niger, Bauchi, Kebbi and Benue.

*It is the first time that an incumbent governor would win re-election in Oyo State(despite the saying that "Oyo ki sin yan leemeji" among the Oyo indigenes). That feat was performed by Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State.

*At the level of the Independent National Electoral Commission, it is the first time machine readable Permanent Voter Cards and Smart Card Readers would be used. *It was also reported that the governor-elect in Niger State, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, will be sworn in by his mother-in-law, Justice Fati Abubakar, who is said to be the state’s Chief Judge.

*It was the first time SHOLA my friend was asked to do frog jump on an election day.... add your own joor!
