NIGERIA: Buhari Wins EL Classico As Jonathan Gets Fair Play Award

The presidential contest recently won in Nigeria by the APC can be compared to El Classico, not the recent ones but the very hot, high tempered El Classico math which drove the rivalry of Barcelona and Real Madrid to the highest in the days of Mourinho vs Guardiola. The coming of Mourinho to Spain changed everything, added fire and brimestone to the rivalry and he eventually ensured that he broke the dominance of the Pep Guardiola lead Barcelona.

The same thing can be said of the PDP which has lead the Federal Government of Nigeria in four dispensations. The choosing and fielding of a captain that had failed three times (Buhari), the change of coach to a known dodged fighter and winner (Tinubu) and the fresh move to a new club (APC) finally delivered the winning ticket. The acceptance of defeat by Goodluck Jonathan says much about fair play..
