Buhari also said “there is no longer a guaranteed route to power and the voter is truly the king when it comes to elections”.
The President made this statement when he received Alhaji Muhammad Hamim Nuhu Sunusi, newly-installed Emir of Dutse, Jigawa State Capital, at the State House in Abuja.
Buhari said, the 2023 elections have shown the emerging strength of Nigeria’s democracy, also, more especially, the sophistication of the Nigerian voter when it come to choosing leaders.
He added the shocking outcome of ten (10) Governors failing to make it to the Senate meant there is no sure route to power and the voter is truly the king when it comes to elections.
President Buhari said: “It is a testament to the maturity of our democracy and to the amazing sophistication of the voter. What shocked me was that the ordinary citizen who is usually underrated has made the point of his political understanding of things.
“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.”
