General
Muhammad Buhari is a top contender in the forth coming presidential election in
Nigeria in which the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan is seeking
re-election. However for some reasons, according to online conversations, he
might not win. Below are some of the reasons generated from various
conversations on the social media platform:
1. Old Age-
Buhari is said to be too old for the job in a nation where we have vibrant
young people who can transform the economy for the good of all. At 72 he should be at home cooling his brain
and providing logical advices for young Nigerians.
2. Image Issue- He has been accused many times for
sponsoring Boko Haram even though there was no evidence to nail him.
3.
Certificate Issue- He has been challenge several times to produce his academic
certificates and Nigerians are still waiting.
4. Religion-
Buhari is a Muslim but he is perceived to be a fanatic and that he might turn
Nigeria into an Islamic state if elected.
While Nigerians
continue to engage themselves online ahead of the February 14 election, it is
very difficult to rule out the possibility of Buhari winning the election since
other candidates also have their shortcomings.
