The Special Adviser on Media to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state, Salihu Yakasai, has lamented the “lower-than-expected” votes President Muhammadu Buhari has been able to garner in the South-West.

The South-West, which has the second highest number of voters and has six All Progressives Congress governors in all its six states, was expected to give bloc votes to Buhari.

However, figures released by the Independent National Electoral Commission show otherwise.

Writing on his Twitter handle, Mr Yakasai said: “I am terribly disappointed and saddened by the South-West results for the APC despite being biggest beneficiary of this government both in terms of juicy appointments and projects (they even got a whole new rail line from Lagos to Ibadan) yet APC narrowly won, shame.” Daily Nigerina reports.
