Fellow nairalanders
For me the major learning from this presidential election is that no ethnic group in this country can solely put her son/daughter on the throne without the support of other region.

GEJ missed it bigtime the moment he proclaimed the votes of SE took him to Aso rock after 2011 elections. From then on he continuously treated other ethnic group with "disdain" as if they were not important. Now he must have realised he missed the opportunity to earn the trust and respect of others no thanks to his divisive administrative style.

With the results released so far, it will take a miracle for GEJ to stage a comeback considering APC stronghold of Borno, Bauchi, Zamfara left to be released.

So, in your opinion, what is the major lesson you have learnt from this election?

In addition to the already stated lessons, I also learnt that you don't give up trying in life. At a time GMBH gave up after the 2011 election, he said he would not seek re- election again, but thank God he listen to advise and now the out come is clear.

Again, initially, he was rigid and not very amenable to change, but thereafter, he realized he needs to change to work with other, then his campaign slogan became CHANGE, now change is here.

Everyone has his own time, GMBH time is here, hope he also learn from the incumbent.

For me, politicians will perform better in offices henceforth since GEJ is likely to be used as a scapegoat tomorrow.

Yes, this is a big one indeed. Politicians should know that the people have the power to sack them for nonperformance in the next election.

Reminds me of the story of Abraham Lincoln that failed several times but eventually got it
