To some he helped them understand what was going on, to others, he was hilarious.

This is the man, one of the three people handling the sign language during the election result announcement, who kept Nigerians alive with laughter despite having to wait all day for the winner to be announced.

Peter Leye Oyekale is a sign language consultant and communicator and he resides in Abuja.

You should know nigerians nau. We must look for comic relief in tense situations.

That's what makes us unique..the happiest people in the whole world...may better days come ojare. We have suffered enough

Which one be sign of the cross there again?

Well done bro, you and your colleague ( the woman) did a good job.

I learnt numbers (0 to 9) and many rare words like vote, cast and polling while you interpreted.
