Buhari Wins Presidential Election, Nigerians Jubilate

Despite the extremely prolonged process of announcing the results, Nigerians all over the country have already embarked on the celebrations marking the victory of the opposition leader Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 presidential election.
 This is the first defeat
of the current president since independence in 1960.
Having been elected president of the largest Africa’s economy,
 Muhammadu Buhari has asumed the responsibilities of ending a six-year-old Boko Haram insurgency, eliminating corruption and restoring investor confidence in an economy suffering from a 50 percent drop in the price of oil since June.

Goodluck Jonathan is being praised for his willingness to concede the power to the president-elect.
 Attahiru Jega, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commision, is being praised for almost flawless and relatively peaceful conduct of the election. April 11 will become another test for Nigeria, as gubernatorial elections are to be held in the majority of states.
