Article written by Charly Boy. Read below...
I must first congratulate Mr. President, Goodluck Joanatan for his maturity, magnanimity and statesmanship by being the first to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari on his win at the polls, e no easy sha. Accepting defeat. This is a sign of a shift in the right direction. Nigerians should be proud of the freest and the fairest election ever! Elections in Africa, over time, have come to be a time of despair for contesting candidates, and for the citizenry whose energies at seeking decent leadership for their countries have always been a worthless effort.

Buhari's govt may be vicious - Asari says, threatens to go back to the creeks
Ex Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo says the emergence of Gen
Buhari as the President of Nigeria in last Saturday's presidential
election may signify the birth of a vicious government which may maim
and murder the voice of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria. Asari
expressed his fears in a statement released by his spokesperson, Rex
Anigoro yesterday April 1st.
"The conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energised. It is clear that a vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so-called minorities may have just been birthed. Indeed integration is non-existent as regional gang-ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory" the statement read.
