Buhari's Victory, Not A Popular Mandate - Northern Statesman by izu777: 11:23pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
Without minding that he hailed from the same region with the president-elect, Balarabe Musa, an elder statesman has said Buhari's victory in the March 28 presidential polls does not reflect the wish of the generality of Nigerians. He said an election won on a shortfall of 42 million registered voters isn't a reflection of the true will of the people. Only 28 million of the total 70 million registered voters took active participation in the election. The national chairman of the de-registered Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), said, Buhari has a mandate but not popular, he therefore wants the president-elect to form a government which will comprise all political parties. The former governor of old Kaduna state said, the only fortunate thing about the just concluded polls is that Nigeria is not divided despite anxieties before the elections.

This man is great. He always says the truth, no matter how unpopular it is. In fact, he is the most honest northern politician in this country. Forget Buhari, Balarabe Musa is the deal. 100 Likes 6 Shares |

Finally, an abok.i, a nama rearer that some people consider great Balarabe Musa is someone I respect very much but what he's saying holds no water...the June 12 elections had only 14million voters. 2011 elections won by Jonathan had 36million voters. If 2015 had 28million, it isn't buhari's fault. He's not the umpire and even the umpire will not point guns to people's head to force them to go vote. Nigerians generally are apathetic to elections. A perfect example is the rerun elections in Imo state. Out of 144000 registered voters and 113000 PVC collected, less than 50000 came out to vote.... Now, whose fault is that? 84 Likes 5 Shares |

Buhari's victory is not a popular mandate. He never secured massive votes from Nigerians. He failed woefully in the South East (couldn't even secure 25% votes there), failed woefully in the South South and won only marginally in the South West. He never got any massive votes from the South, infact he lost in the South. 63 Likes 4 Shares |

ShowYourCertificate: He never needed his school cert for anything. Even section 318 of the Nigerian constitution explains and tells us the options that can stand for a school cert. Its you and partners that wanted to use it to block his approach to the ultimate prize: INEC certificate of return and he crossed that hurdle to claim it. Now deal with that 19 Likes |

theV0ice:Buhari failed woefully in Imo state despite pulling over 100,000 votes. This is because he failed to secure 25%. It's a known fact that Buhari failed in the South (SE, SS, SW). That's why his victory isn't a popular mandate. It's a regional mandate from the North . He needs to do sth about that when he assumes power.....a priceless advice. 20 Likes 1 Share |

theV0ice:Of course he never needed his WASC. Afterall, our previous leaders are hardly university graduates (with exception of Yar Adua and Jonathan) so it's not totally strange that we have a school drop out as a president. The world is aware. 8 Likes 1 Share |
