Muhammadu Buhari's persistence finally paid off.
He emerged the winner Nigeria's presidential election, sending his
supporters and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) into
celebration mood.
Buhari became the first Nigerian to oust an incumbent president
through the ballot box.
President Goodluck Jonathan's People's Democratic Party (PDP) has been
ruling since the end of military rule in 1999. The party has been
losing popularity due to the rise of Boko Haram's insurgency in the
North East and a string of corruption scandals.
Buhari's supporters have been celebrating all over the country,
following his success.
Apparently, some people are taking the celebration to another level,
as some of his supporters were seen this morning in the Gwagalada area
of Abuja carrying small caskets wrapped with PDP logos.
Some people are not very pleased with the action of these people. So
far, the elections have been free of violence and Nigerians are
grateful for that. Some are worried this celebration of Gwagwalada
people, who have caskets wrapped with PDP logo may turn into something
else.
