AFTER CHANGE WHAT NEXT
CHAPTER ONE
APC! CHANGE! CHANGE FEDERAL! That was the slogan we were so familiar with before the commencement of the election. Many observées predicted élection between the All Progressive Congress's Général Muhammad Buhari ans the incubent président, the candidate of the people's democratic Party March 28 was the day, the presidential élection is the task, Nigeria is the venue, vote for change or transformation was the slogan, Proffessor Athairu Jega was the reffree, over 70 million Nigerians were the deciders, ans the world at large were the spectors.
I stayed glued tout my TV set since I was already blessed with the present administration (epileptic power supply) and forme tour information my TV was powered by 'I BETA PASS MY NEIGHBOUR' generator. March 28th 2015 presidential election was as if it was the only thing that could keep over 150 million Nigérians at home. Roads dried up as if a tsunami disaster just occured, everyone minded what he or she would sa y because of the khaki boy, if they get hold of you, your life will never remain the same.
Now the campaign is over. We are all tired. Of the APC telling us the economy is on the verge of collapsing ( I guess, I could feel that myself, atleast the hold up at my backyard says it all, but not today ) and the PDP telling us the devil we know is better than the angel we don't know. (I also Nigerians standard) apart from somehiccups in southeast and south-south, and also the card readers' failures. Even the European observers gave kudos to the INEC chairman on the job well done. The election went as it went and all is now history as the popular saying goes.
In the wee hours of Tuesday 7th April, 2015, the APC aspirant won the election. For first time on my dear nation the incumbent was defeated and I trust my dear Hausa they can't just stop saying "Sai Baba! Sai Buhari!" .
After the election, What's next for my dear nation? This is a country that has swallowed 70% poverty rate, high rate of mortality, infact majority of the sectors are only working on paper as in NTA news.
Now, we have given you our trust "Baba" what next!!!
