Opinion: Why Buhari Won – Again, By Suleiman A. Suleiman
In my discussions with people throughout the states of northern Nigeria over the past two years or so, I get the impression that people accept that his performance has been below par so far. However, they also still have hope that he will perform better for them during a second term and they trust him enough to give him a second chance. The PDP could not break this bond, even though it is not as cast in stone as it appears. And it did not even try.
Whether the president will deliver to both groups and to the country at large in his second and final term remains to be seen. Suleiman A.
