This is contrary to reports by some international bodies that the election was free and fair. Campbell, in his election post-mortem for the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington DC obtained by The Guardian yesterday, said the election was marred by historically low turnout and credible allegations of rigging.He noted that the electionwas a step-back from that of 2015, adding that actions should be taken to identify what had gone wrong and what could be corrected.
He said: “Buhari and his main challenger, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, both Muslims from the Fulani ethnic group in northern part of the country, are part of the political class that have dominated Nigeria since independence in 1960. Their contest meant there would be no generational leadership change in a country where the average age is 18 and half of registered voters are under 35. Buhari, who spent much of his last term abroad for medical treatment, hardly campaigned at all.
Even though he didn't say, don't we Nigerians know?
The one Mr integrity did
I'm not surprised really. Who doesn't know that it didn't reflect the wishes and desires of the populace.
Any one who calls what we have in Nigeria a democracy is an enermy to humanity
He can have a good look at the 2016 US election that brought Donald Trump into office with Russian Collusion, Cambridge Analytica, dodgy Electoral College. Give us a break, our Democracy barely stated - You have well over 200 Years od democracy under your belt.
Of course ,it is
Because they have nothing to chop with Buhari, they prefer Atiku.
Echoes from abroad in sync with those from home. And yet some are deaf and dumb about it
What is your own concern? Who you help?
JohnCampbellcfr Let's talk about the election that brought in realDonaldTrump first, shall we?
And the one that brought Trump over them is worse. They have still not recovered from it. usmindyourbusiness
There's no other way to describe this, Too bad!!!
