General Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, broke a jinx in the South-West in yesterday’s presidential election as he won in many constituencies, leading to excitements among Lagosians. Voters at Omole estate, Isheri Road, Ikeja, Lagos were jubilating when APC won landslide in all three elections - Presidency, Senate and the House of Representatives.
The jubilant electorate were chanting - ‘Buhari for Aso Rock; Jonathan for Otuoke’ obviously satisfied with the outcome at the polls.

There wasn’t any violence and it’s impressive. This shows we can do peaceful elections and our destinies are in our hands,” she said.
