africa's netscape. i'm christine one welcome to the program i'm glad your chin voters in nigeria have given mohammed another term at the helm of africa's largest economy and most populous country but turnout was no in the election just thirty five percent nigeria's electoral commission says bahari triumph with some fifteen million votes speccing he's nearest rival by eighty four million votes delays and violence maad the run up to said saturday spall but no independent observer has cited electoral fraud. dancing to the chuen of victory supporters of muhammadu buhari celebre. it well into the nights. i believe it's
4:17 am
a way for our. country and still might you know i mean if you talk about the president talk about uprightness you talk about the president it's about. legitimacy by the president you see the corruption all this stuff just becomes the will of the person. in charge contrast to his reveling supporters a seemingly uncharismatic bihari appeal to his voters not to humiliate the opposition. you need. to continue. to harry won the election despite many nigerians frustration with his style of
4:18 am
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. rees 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 its equal backus of course has to say they were cheated in this election as haven't listened. who is the we know of this position. on the well known. or double don't know what food i know very difficult to pay our school fees even to back home edition so i believe. i took was the best
4:19 am
almost the us it. all work and fight every individual to get ok for 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 where basically the aim is to increase voter participation among the youth as well as education but if i welcome to news africa turned out in this election was a thirty five percent. turnout and actually in the situation 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 two unnerves . elections in itself becomes much more credible when citizens participates and the most it is a sportsperson on election day i mean that heightens the credibility of that
4:20 am
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 nigeria 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 affect said the number of people dot turned out to vote 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 to talk about the two candidates that were up contending abu bakar x. equal and why would you bar 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.
4:21 am
ok so that's the categories of people in the last election those who believed that they just once said anything but it's president my motherboard 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 and universities were on strike for three good months and so this people actually assumed the toxic roebuck us today chance and he represented the kind of change they wanted and since such a club is a man who has. a lot of business acumen below his belt and he's also got a lot of industries companies and here and there on his own in soprano they believe that he's actually coming in with does kind of change that will bring about jobs here and they also felt that that's a quote go back a 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 that sequel back and to be fair to president park i
4:22 am
think a lot of people did acknowledge that he is seen in the country as one who is less corrupt and unfortunately with 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 improvement the president himself the president elect under certain presidents himself must have seen that this isn't this wasn't a walk over for him he was a very tight on kinley contested elections and so he i don't see expects that he would seek nigerians for granted i expect that there will be certain things that he would take into consideration the economy for example the level of insecurity education the economy and all of us will react specs that there will be some form of improvement in this particular sectors right to the fight for corruption should
