Latest News News Opinion November 8, 2016      Azuka Onwuka Azuka Onwuka One as#znaive statement some Nigerians make is: “Jonathan failed us and we voted him out; come 2019 if Buhari fails us, we will vote him out.” Really? Can President Muhammadu Buhari be voted out if he decides to run in 2019? Let us look at some issues that will help us gauge if this is possible. In 2003, there were serious accusations against Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who was then President, that the elections did not reflect the wishes of the people. For example, in 1999 the Peoples Democratic Party lost elections in all the six states of the South-West. It was seen as a rejection of Obasanjo by his Yoruba kinsmen. He was ridiculed by many because of that. By 2003, without any obvious rise in the PDP’s popularity, the party suddenly won five of the six South-West states. Lagos escaped because of the smartness of the governor of the state then, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Given the high level of electoral maConte
