The Edo election just ended last Saturday with little or no violence recorded against the expectations of many, but what I found out is that many anti-Buharists have been singing his praise perhaps because of the winner after all.

Buhari since he became the president have been called many unprintable names; A tyrant, Anti democratic, A biase person, not having respect for the rule of law, etc. But today, not even a dose of abuse was dished out to him.

The question is why?

For my view, Buhari did nothing to be thanked in that election, what changes the scenario is because of USA and UK involvement of sanctioning most of evil politicians. Buhari is afraid of committing electoral plunder so as to exonerate himself. He said what is expected from president of a country. So no big deal about it.
The main kudos should go to Edo state youth who stood their ground and prevent APC miscreant from tempering with the electoral process.

because he pitied obaseki and respect the law without using federal might

All the praise should go to those gallant youths of Edo state for making sure that their vote count.
