Still trying to make sense of the post.

What has this election got to do with Buhari?all politics is local,and at the local election level,the PDP fielded a better candidate.

This proves,contrary to what the names sayers cry about in town that elections in Nigeria are muscled, better candidates still win elections freely.

Apc should just be picking up their items one by one, because with what Nigerians have seen, I don't think Apc will get a shot on target come 2019 election.
.
Remember the Adeleke issue in Osun? And these also adds to it, while more are still coming, so that it will not catch Apc by surprise, they should just get set for .........................,.,..., (fill in the gap)

I am a Nigerian and I don't have business with POTUS. The Americans voted for him and who am I to condemn or challenge their choice of candidate.

Long live Donald Trump.
