Five Things To Take Away From The 2019 Presidential Elections by Prodigytal: 6:33am On Feb 27, 2019
1. Wide Margins
President Mohammadu Buhari, that incumbent won with
a 4 million votes margin, one of the highest in history after he polled 15 million votes compared to 11 million votes pulled by his closest opponent, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

2. 3rd Position
While attention is often always placed on the two biggest players in the elections, it is worthy of note that Omoyele Sowore of the AAC placed a distant third position with about thirty thousand votes.

3. Celebrities that participated
Some Nigerian celebrities participated in the elections and while some won, some lost out. Nairabet CEO, Akin Alabi as well as owner of popular lagos club Quilox, Shina Pellers both won elections into legislative positions. Musician Banky W however failed to win the election for position of representative of the etiosa constituency.

4. No phone call
Four years ago, incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan already called challenger Buhari to congratulate him even before the official announcement. However, Alhaji Abubakar hasn't yet done the same, as tension thickens across the country following the aftermath of the elections.

5. INEC could have done better
After almost a billion dollars and four years of planning, inec delivered an eyesore of an election. Jamb could have organised this election better. There were so many cases of inefficiencies across the nation. We hope INEC can do better in 2023 and adopt digital applications for Africa's largest nation.

That's another thing. Vote for your choice without insulting the tribes and generation of other people with a different political direction.

Things I have taken away from this election are:
1. Religions plays a major factor in election results
2. Tribal sentiments play the 2nd major factor
3. Party affiliation plays another factor
4. Greed: what I will gain comes next
5. The performance of the incumbent comes last

Another thing to take away is that you are lousy does not mean you are popular, that goes for the likes of Atiku, Kwankwaso, Saraki, Sani and pdp at large.

Also election is not won by the numbers of likes and shares on nairaland.
