Some of the worst affected states included Adamawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano and Edo, while in Rivers State, jubilant youths were seen along Omerelu/Elele/Port Harcourt Road, displaying different kinds of guns and other dangerous weapons, shooting into the air and chanting heroic songs. Eye witnesses say many of the victims were either hit by a moving vehicles making stunt displays or lost their footing while watching the activities.

According to eyewitness reports, 17 victims died in Kano, four died in Abuja, three in Kontagora, Niger State and one in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, while several others sustained injuries. Eyewitness, Ali Sufi of Naibawa Quarters said three people were crushed to death at Naibawa U-turn, when a man in a Toyota Camry car lost control and rammed into those celebrating.

Mr Sufi added that one Sabo Ali, an ad-hoc staff of communications giant, Etisalat, lost his life alongside his friend when a reckless driver knocked them down at Ungwa Uku end of Zaria Road within Kano metropolis. Another resident of Naibawa quarters, Ibrahim Dogo, said that two teenagers were crushed to death along Zaria Road by a crazy driver.

Kano State Police Command spokesman Magaji Majia, said: “We discovered seven dead bodies of unknown persons on the streets after the celebration and investigations has commenced on how and why it happened.” He added that the development had forced the command to sponsor radio jingles to sensitize the city dwellers on how to go about the victory dance.

General Buhari has urged his supporters across the country to remain calm and celebrate responsibly, adding that this is not a time for wild ecstasy. In General Buhari’s home town of Daura in Katsina State, motorbike riders and car drivers pulled stunts, sending plumes of dust into the air, enveloping the local ruler’s palace overlooking the square.

Veiled women ululated, young men and the old cheered in approval, drums were sounded and brooms were dangled from strings tied to poles and spigots of cement-plastered mud homes. Lawan Shuaibu, a 29-year-old bus driver, said: “Our joy is indescribable as a result of this historic victory of Muhammadu Buhari, which is why we are on the streets for the second day of celebration.”

In contrast, the mood was sombre in President Jonathan's hometown of Otuoke in Bayelsa State as people were pensive as they reflected on his defeat. Businesses reported sluggish trade as groups of people in twos or threes discussed the gripping election, which General Buhari won by 2.75m votes, becoming the first challenger to beat a sitting president win in Nigeria’s history.

It is unfair to attach this blame in anyway to Buhari.

Why should we show 'reverence' to a public servant?

We should respect him as a human being but even he has said that his job is to 'govern' (by which I took to mean administer) and not to rule.

Lol nd some people were carrying caskets abt celebrating d death of pdp
funny how mny will end up in d casket or being buried with a mat

The annoying thing is that they are killing people who didn't even participate in the madness. Good for those that died while driving. They are soo ad and stup1d. How are they even sure that Buhari will work?
