…says no Guaranteed Route to Power
By Udesinanna Stephen
President Muhammadu Buhari has said the 2023 elections proved the growing strength of Nigeria democracy and sophistication of the voters.
Buhari said this when he received the newly-installed Emir of Dutse, Jigawa State Capital, Alhaji Muhammad Hamim Nuhu Sunusi at the State House in Abuja.
The Official spokesperson to the President who doubles as the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in his Twitter handle, @GarShehu disclosed this.
According to him, President Buhari said the outcome of 10 Governors failing to make it to the Senate meant that there is no longer a guaranteed route to power and the voter is the king when it comes to elections.
“Assumption is always that you are Governor for eight years and you go to the Senate to crown the career. No one should underrate the Nigerian voter anymore. Politics will be more difficult, henceforth,” the President said.
