We are presently hearing of serious violence in Northern Nigeria. Is it possible that most of the people in the North went blindly to the Poll and just started thumb printing in the Peoples Democratic Party Logo?.
I am asking this question because even i who did not vote for PDP can without apology to anyone say the election was free and fair and was counted right at the polling station in the presence of everyone who waited to watch the counting of the votes therefore i see know reason for this senseless violence.
The only conclusion i can make from the violence that followed the declaration of President Goodluck Jonathan as the winner of Presidential Election that took place on 16th of April 2011 is the other Parties that fielded Notherners as their Candidate did not properly teach their followers how to differentiate their party from the ruling party taking to mind that most of the candidates campaigning in this parties have in one way or the other worked with PDP before or had been in PDP before which can easily confuse their followers especially in the North where most of the people are illiterates.
