Buhari did not campaign in SS and SE, he totally rejected these areas not knowing they will play a major role. I believe he assumed they will not turn up on election day and even if they do, the northern population will cancel their vote.

Meanwhile GEJ knew most of the north will vote Buhari, but decided to visit every state and atleast appeal to the millions of Christians, Igbos as well as the Hausa Muslims. His strategy paid of as he was able to get 25% he needed in these areas.

Buhari ignored the SS and SE and they ignored him on election day.

As for High voter turn out. For the first time a niger delta man with azikiwe as his middle name was contesting under PDP that controls the entire region. That is a great reason why the turn out was massive. they believed it was their numbers against the northern numbers.

Please Give Buhari something to wipe his tears.

The violence shld be condemned and gej shld live up to his responsibility as c in c to quell the crisis. Its a shame that their were signs that this was going to happen and the government didn't do anything.but let's also talk about who started this crisis in the first place.if you notice a lot of northern emirs and leaders(pdp) in the north cheated their people and in connivance with goodluck ebele jonathan to rig the eletions in the north, hw do you explain gej getting 428,392 votes in katsina state.if you notice,in almost all northern states, gej has a steady and perfect share of 25%.is it a coincidence or something fishy is going on somewhere . Now who is to blame for the violence, why didn't you tell gej to stop using money politics and highwire manipulation, isn't he smart enuf to know the north is volatile, the same way there was wild wild west n the south west , why is he instigating violence in the north by putting together one of the most sophisticated rigging heist in nigerian history.When the people in zaria protested and almost caused a breakdown of law and order,because the emir of zaria received a 500 million gift from gej.didn't he get the picture.gej has been bribing northern elites and has carried out a sophisticated, yet almost believable electoral heist in the history of nigeria. You people don't know the high wire meetings gej had to manipulate the elections n the north.Your man who promised to transform nigeria, has transformed the electoral landscape into money politics,high wire rigging,falsified results, etc . Now its backfiering on him.

I submit and concur to your points

What difference would it have made?
Sometimes I wonder if Nigerians think at all.
