With just 3 state remaining to announce the winner of this year presidential/parliamentary election, it crystal clear that GMB is in pole position to emerge as the next Nigeria president.

This thread is opened to seek N/Landers opinion on the general conduct of the election;

1. Initial postponement
2. Introduction of card reader
3. Propaganda upon propaganda from the two major party (I.e APC and PDP)
4. Turnout of voters.
5. Crisis at certain states on election day
6. Collation and continuous delay
7. Orubebe outburst/Jega calmness
8. Rivers, Katsina, Kaduna, Kano figures. And many more.

These are some of the issues that bring about different opinions in the cause of the electioneering process.

So, what is your general opinion on the conduct of the election?
Will you rate this election as F and F?

Na Godwin...U hear..

Averagely, Fair but not totally fair because there were cases of malpractices and some molestation. But free because I think that the results reflect the will of the people, the majority. This will encourage Nigerians next time to go out and vote realizing the power in their vote than selling their conscience.

It wasn't free ąήđ fair to some extent buh still APC takes the Lead

No opinion for now!
I just have this to say all the way from Ukraine:
Congratulations to the winner of the 2015 presidential election

SAI BABA...

I hope his government favors the nation!

In my honest opinion, I observed the following trends with the elections that have just been concluded:

1. With the advent of the card readers, a new rigging mechanism has evolved. Physical rigging by snatching ballot boxes and hijacking ballot papers will be phased out gradually in the political scene unless GMB or any other successive government decides to stop this progress. Instead, the new rigging will entail hijacking the rational minds of the electorate. In other words, whoever wields the best propaganda machine has seized 95% of the electoral space.

2. In order for elections to be adjudged as free and fair by all political stakeholders in this country, there has to be massive upgrades and reforms in the Immigration Service. Why is this so? The figures for registered voters released in the Core North has a lot to say about how porous our borders have become. The Boko Haram Insurgency even worsened the security situation thereby leaving our borders open to immigrants from neighbouring nations such as Chad and Niger. I bet you that these illegal immigrants even got PVCs far far ahead of citizens in other regions of the nation. Now add that to accreditation via card readers and you've transformed illegal immigrants to legal entities and stakeholders in the electoral space.

3. Inasmuch as there may have been little rigging raids in the South West, it was very obvious that for once, the perceived non-indigenes had their votes counted. In my opinion, I think the president's use of the armed forces to man the streets as well as the bridling of the OPC gave some sense of security to these set of voters whom ordinarily , would have deserted the polling booths. This was also similar in states such as Kogi and Benue where the margins were very tight as the electorate voted against the ruling party due to their perceived grievances. In other words, the electorate was king in the South West and the Middle Belt.

4. Finally, as much as I hate to say this, GMB emerged as the President Elect because he had the best of Nigeria's Political Clout behind him. If it were just Northern votes, he should have been president in 2011. Its very obvious to note that these Political Clouts decided to shed-off the red clothes of the PDP for the green attires of the APC. We may be free to criticize GMB's rule when he takes up the mantle but the emergence of an unprecedented election like this to hold again will solely depend on the will of GMB in 2019 or another political wave like the one witnessed in this transition. Who knows? The PDP may not be dead after all.

My hopes are that we sustain the gains witnessed in this election while pushing for better reforms and even smoother elections come 2019 and beyond.
Please Nigerians, never forget to keep the President Elect and his team on their toes from every channel available. Memorize their manifesto and keep blowing whistles where you believe they have erred. The citizens of a nation are the most efficient watchdog that nation can ever have. Keep flexing your new found muscles and make every effort count.

Together, we can realize the Nigeria of our dreams.

God Bless President GEJ.
God Bless The President-Elect GMB,
God Bless The Electorate.
God Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
