10:32 pm
supporters of muhammadu buhari celebrated well into the night. i believe it is the way forward to this country and to my generation if you talk about the president talk about right this is about the president it's about. legitimacy by the president you see the eruption and it just becomes the will 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.
10:33 pm
to hari won the election despite many nigerians frustration with his style of governing being slow to attack corruption and a struggling economy. despite overflowing with oil nigeria recently overtook india as the country with the most amount of poor people. 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 spots from africa some of it's equal back a supporter has to say they were cheated in this election as haven't listened. who is the we know of this position. on the. don't know what to venue very difficult to balance school fees even to back
10:34 pm
home edition so i believe. that's agrees the best although we are all we all want to fight every individual to get. more analysis on the election i want to bring in. borno he's a political commentator he's in lagos for us today ambassador 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 welcome to africa have turned out 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 thirty five percent in this last election because this is one of the worst elections that we've had this high this low level of two unknowns. elections in itself becomes much more credible when citizens participates
10:35 pm
and the most it is a sportsperson on election day means it 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 as down south of my jury at 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 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 that turned out to votes in the presidential elections ok a lot of people have a lot of opinions about whether or not this wasn't a free and fair election but i want us to talk about the two candidates that were up contending sequel and why would you borrow who since one did at cool really represent the change that young nigerians wanted or was he just the other guy that
10:36 pm
wasn't too hard. ok so that's the categories of people in the in the last election those who believed that they just wanted anything but president my mother board and the young people who also feels about the loss of jobs in the economy i mean the economy was not doing too well and subsequently there were a loss of jobs and then a lot of schools or universities were on strike for three good months and so this people actually assume that isaac 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 knees on here and there 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 he also feels 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
10:37 pm
a lot of hope was hinge on that sequel back and to be fair to president park i 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 is this wasn't a walk over for him it was a very tight on kinley contested elections and so he i do and expects that he would seek nigerians for a grand said i expects that 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 real experience that there will be some form of improvement in this particular
10:38 pm
