PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY POLLS: via thisdaylive
With eyes fixed on next week’s governorship and state houses of assembly elections, identifying some of the crucial winners and losers from the presidential and national assembly elections could be a good way to close that chapter, at least, for now, writes Olawale Olaleye
It is also worthy of mention that INEC has fixed next weekend for the supplementary presidential elections, the import of which no one can tell as it is. Indeed, a majority of the people had asked to what end was a supplementary election needed, when Mr. Muhammadu Buhari had been returned as president-elect.
His victory is particularly instructive, because he had been dismissed on account of age, poor health, unimpressive performance – all of which were confirmed by many of the polls conducted ahead of the elections. Unfortunately, the results posted by Lagos and South-west in general were not commensurate with the expectations from a crucial swing state. At this point, victory has been earned and so, the winners must be counted. Tinubu is a winner!He was the director-general of the campaign and so had a great stake in its outcome.
He is though not satisfied with the conduct of the election, having earlier complained of harassment by security operatives, this changes nothing.The loss of the outgoing Senate President, Bukola Saraki is overwhelming. Not only did he fail to deliver Atiku as the DG of the PDP campaign, he also failed to deliver his own election and those of others in his state.
