Matters Arising From The Presidential Election, Tasks Before General Buhari's Administration



Against all odds, the 2015 Presidential election initially billed for February 14 but rescheduled to March 28, has come and gone. General Muhammadu Buhari, the APC candidate secured a total of 15,424,921 million votes (53.95%) to defeat incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan who garnered 12,853,162 votes (44.96%). Wall Street Journal says, "Buhari’s upset of incumbent President is arguably the most consequential political event in Africa in the last decade”. Congratulations to General Buhari, kudos to President Jonathan for graciously accepting defeat. Nigerians are the true winners of the 2015 presidential election.
