gateleo:
The significance of Muhammadu Buhari’s victory is underlined by the fact that this will be the first in the history of Nigeria’s electoral process when an incumbent president is defeated. It was no small feat that was achieved by some of the country’s most prominent political figures.


Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

The former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is considered a master political strategist who guided Buhari’s aspiration to a success at the party’s national convention last year.
Sai-Baba2Tinubu was able to ensure that not only did Buhari get the block vote of the Southwest, but also ensured that many states outside the region that did not have governors in the contest supported Buhari.
After the nomination convention, Tinubu together with likeminded party members was able to weave a formidable campaign machine that put Buhari to victory. Reflective of Tinubu’s imprint in the victory was the fact that Buhari in his last three runs never made an impression in the Southwest, a region he swept last weekend with victories in five of the six states.
Despite the lures and lashes from the opposition, Tinubu stood firm in an unwavering support for Buhari that proved crucial in achieving victory.


Governor Chibuike Amaechi

Governor Amaechi ably steered the Buhari campaign in such a way that brought the old candidate into reckoning in ways he never had been before. The governor’s input was there in the transformation of the general in his dressing and approach to campaign. The governor was in direct control of strategy and deployment of personnel at the campaign headquarters. He was also believed to be involved in the indirect talks with some major political players who helped to ensure the victory of the general at both the nomination convention and the general election.

Senator Bukola Saraki

Senator Bukola Saraki who served as governor of Kwara State before going to the Senate was also instrumental to the victory. His deployment of political and other resources not only helped in the general’s sweep of Kwara State, but also in forming bonds with other major political players in the country.

President Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is perceived another influential personality to Buhari’s ascendancy to Aso Rock. President Obasanjo’s behind the door counsel and patronage of Team Buhari was an open secret. He demonstrated so even in the days before the election was postponed last February when he went on an international circuit to launch his recently released book, My Watch.
He also met with market leaders in his Abeokuta office where he gave them counsel on how to vote.
However, the most strategic role President Obasanjo may have played is believed to have been in bringing international focus on Nigeria in such a way that put the defeated president in a cul de sac on allowing his subordinates to manipulate the results.

Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not have been seen regularly on the podium pushing for Buhari, but he was a main backer in terms of resources. Once he lost the ticket to Buhari, Atiku pushed his structure including his savvy media team headed by Mallam Garba Shehu to Buhari’s use. The team proved to be a torn in the flesh of Candidate Goodluck Jonathan.

APC GOVERNORS

All the APC governors without exception backed the general. Though two of them, Al Makura in Nasarawa and Adams Oshiomhole in Edo were not able to deliver their states to Buhari, but the efforts they made was undeniable. Oshiomhole was especially a thorn in the flesh of Camp Jonathan in the last few days.

Welldone to them and all Nigerians who actually voted APC. The actually got the backing of the electorate hence the victory. They were only lucky the game favoured them. The electorates were able to test their might and it worked for the first time in Nigeria. I would want you to replace OBJ with GEJ for giving Nigeria the platform by which their votes counted. GEJ wasn't a do or die president like OBJ who even attempted a third term. He doesn't deserve any place in that list. He was just jealous and vindictive and raised false alarm to spite GEJ.

Please replace Saraki with Jega. He has no business on that list, what did he do except tag along. Okorocha, Amaechi, Ngige incured the wrath of their people just to be with APC.
What did Saraki do? you gotta be kidding me! Check out how he delivered Kwara for GMB in grand style.

The people are fed up; that was the only thing that made it possible!

The people being fed up argument did not translate to significant number of election votes in the south.

The three principal agents that facilitated Buhari's election victory are:

1, Prof Atahiru Jega
2. Sekarau and the Boko Haram group
3. Nothern Solidarity

All the people mentioned by the poster are mere self-seeking bigots

2. Yorubas do not really care about Nollywood actors

3. Yoruba actors/actresses are powerful in Yorubaland

4. Yorubas are politically intelligent

5. Yoruba obas were actually CURSING GEJ

6. When God made me Yoruba, he destined me for the greater goods.

THE NORTHERNERS

These were the people who damned the threat of Boko Haram to throng in numbers to vote out failure and vote in change. The kanos, The Katsinans and The Kadunas will never be forgotten for their conspicuous roles in the just concluded presidential election. Of the 2+ million accredited voters in Kano, nearly the 2million thronged out and voted for the people's general.

The SS/SE/SW are hypocrites. I expected so much from them. Lagos who had the highest number of registered voters with 5million plus voters, only had a paltry 1+million votes at the end of the day. These regions put together could not have done it. The same regions killed the PDP.

In fact, The Northerners made the president.

GOOD PEOPLE OF NIGERIANS WHO BELIEVED IN CHANGE

The most resilient and the happiest people on earth, who took their own destinies in their hands. God bless Nigerians

The North also supported Buhari in 2011........What's the difference this time?

If Buhari hadn't won SW states, he wouldn't have met the "25% in 2/3rd" rule.

Not to say that I don't commend the North. I fear the North!

concede to defeat by the opponent party in

who put aside personal interests to fulfill his
public assignment, remaining calm in the face
of threatening challenges and Political

integrity and strength of

3. Remember that you promised millions of jobs for the youths... They are watching and waiting.

4. Remember that you promised to make 1 dollar equals to 1 naira both in appreciation and depreciation.... We are watching.

5. Remember that a lot of people accused the president of not having shoes and called him shoeless. He ignored in the spirit of democracy. Hope you wont arrest anybody that calls you certificateless because me and you know that you have no certificate even standard six.

6. Finally, remember that their is freedom of speech in Nigeria under Jonathan. Even freedom after speech. I do hope you won't gag the press. I know you will grant freedom of speech but you will not grant freedom after speech.. The world is watching![/b]
