Former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff has come out to say that President Muhammadu Buhari deserves more votes that he got from last week’s Presidential election.
The re-elected President received the total number of 15,191,847 votes from several states scattered all over the country.
But according to Ali, even that was not enough because he is a President that has done more in 4 years than any other President has done since Nigeria gained independence.
He also talked about not being surprised with the victory since he knew the citizens are intelligent and know what they want.
His words, “If you look at the antecedents of all the people that contested elections with President Buhari, none has 10 percent of his credibility.
This is a man that is not interested in what every Nigerian is interested in, to grab wealth and enrich themselves; he is there for the Nigerian people; he believes Nigeria should be better than where we are.
He had very simple messageat the campaignsthat we have started fighting corruption; building the economy and lives of Nigerians need to be improved.
The message resonated with Nigerians because for instance, I did not go to my village for four years before the 2015 elections; Boko Haram has occupied all our local government areas in Borno but today, you can drive to any part of Borno.
So, whatever the people of Borno did for Buhari last Saturday, we are only saying thank you for what he has done; If the atmosphere was clearer, Borno would have produced 2 million votes.
I dont know why the PDP members are grumbling when the registered voters are more than two million and we only gave the president 836,000.”
