Well we all know who's going to rule Nigeria come May 2007. The new President-elect of Nigeria is Umar Musa Yar'adua from Katsina State.
INEC Chairman, Professor Maurice Iwu released the result of Saturday's election some hours ago.
Here it is...
PDP - Alhaji Umar Musa Yar'adua - 24, 638, 063 votes
ANPP - Mohammadu Buhari - 6, 605, 299 votes
AC - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar - 2, 637, 848 votes
PPA - Orji Uzor Kalu - 608, 803 votes
APGA - Odumegwu Ojukwu - 155, 947 votes
DPP - Bafarawa - 89, 241 votes
FRESH - Rev. Chris Okotie - 74, 049 votes
ADC - Pat Utomi - 50, 849 votes
Others are AD - 89, 241, ALP - 22, 677 votes, NUP - 4, 355, ND - 5, 408.
25 political parties contested for this election.
So there you have it, the next man to rule this country is Umar Yar'adua and I am mighty glad he won. I was initially against an 'Hausa' ruler, but having gone through this man's profile, I think he more than qualifies to rule us. He is honest. One of the only THREE Governor's the EFCC did not indict for embezzlement. The state he governs at the moment is the only State in the country with excess reserve. He is what we need at this point in our nation.
Hopefully he'll do better than his predecessor who I think has done great for this nation.
If you are not happy about the elections conducted 14th and 21st 2007 and also not happy about Yar'adua winning the presidential elections, do share your views with us.
