6:32 pm
believe this is the way forward to this country and to my generation if you talk about the president talk about uprightness it's about the president it's about. legitimacy by the president to see corruption and it just speaks well of the person. in charge contrast his reveling supporters a seemingly uncharismatic bihari appeal to his voters not to humiliate the opposition. you need. to continue.
6:33 pm
to hari won the election despite many nigerians frustration with his style of governing being slow to attack corruption than a struggling economy. despite overflowing with oil nigeria recently overtook india as the country with the most amount of poor people who are is main contender. whose campaign was about the economy has rejected the election result and plans to mount a court challenge. ok we've got some hot sauce from africa some of its equal back i suppose has to say they were cheated in this election is have a listen. who is the we know of this position. but. don't know what is ip proven very difficult to balance school fees even to back them edition so i believe. that's agrees the best all over the us
6:34 pm
it looked all work and fight every individual to get money for more analysis on the election i want to bring in. a boy you know he's a political commentator he's in lagos for a city and as i also is executive director off an initiative called the tap initiative which basically the aim is to increase voter participation among the youth as well as education basic i welcome to news africa turnout in this election was a thirty five percent. turnout election in this election was thirty five percent what are we to make of that. it is actually very discouraging that's we had five percent in this last election because this is one of the worst elections that we've had this high this low level of so unnerves. elections in itself becomes much more credible when citizens participates and more citizens by
6:35 pm
spitting on election day i mean the heightens the credibility of that selection however in this particular instance we see the low level of participation and some level of disenfranchisement that has happened especially and down south of my jury and the south south south east and so that's also affected the level of participation because quite a number of people were disenfranchised and disenfranchise quite a lot of people who also were scared that their lives would be endangered if they come out to vote on the election day so these are all the things that's actually effect said the number of people dot turned out to votes in the presidential elections ok a lot of people have a lot of opinions about whether or not this was a a free and fair election but i want us to talk about the two candidates that were up at contending abu bakar sequel and why would you barak who since one did at cool really represent the change that young nigerians wanted or was he just the other guy that wasn't too hard. ok so that's two categories of people in the
6:36 pm
last election those who believed that they just wanted anything but its president my motherboard and the young people who also felt. there were loss of jobs in the economy i mean the economy was not doing too well and subsequently there were loss of jobs and then a lot of schools or universities will on strike for three good months and so this people actually assumed a toxic roebuck us today chance and he represented the kind of change they wanted and since that is a man who has. a lot of business acumen below his belt and he's also got a lot of industries companies on here and on his own in soprano they believe that he is actually coming in with does kind of change that will bring about jobs here and they also felt that that's a quote a black eye has done a lot in terms of education he also feels that he was going to improve the sestet out of education in the country ok so a lot of hope was hinged on at sequoia back and to be fair to president park i
6:37 pm
think a lot of people did acknowledge that he is seen in the country as one who is less corrupt and unfortunately what mr there was some ideas about corruption that some people would talk about but what can we expect from nigeria now with four more years of. this is a decision to has been made. hopefully. see some level of improvements the president himself the president elect under certain presidents himself must have seen that this isn't what this wasn't a walkover for him it was a very tight and kinley contested elections and so he i do and expects that he would seek nigerians for a grand said i expect there will be certain things that he would take into consideration the economy for example the level of insecurity education the economy i know that's a react specs that there will be some form of improvement in this particular sector
6:38 pm

6:39 pm
sorts of cars i was young by then and that these young lady who had this takes in the national championship are high and susan more often gets nervous when her rivals are on the truck. and first see you become. yes. but let our own when you get to the tat when i get to the stats and i drop all the fia. it is not easy. how could driver knows how to give susan a boast when the competition is stiff. so i also tend to be a lady that's more in such a moment when she feels likely to be depressed that the guys are faster than half and there is still i know we are fast. the team structure just seems to be playing golf when she sets off the super league she's known to have funds can be and cut
