Buhari’s victory for common Nigerians – Official

The Niger Commissioner for Works, Alhaji Ibrahim Balarabe on Saturday said that President Muhammadu Buharis victory in the just concluded polls was a victory for the common Nigerians.

I will give the victory to the common people who worked for it and not the bourgeoisie in the society who wanted Buhari out.

In this particular election the bourgeoisie decided to come together for their selfish interests and the common people on one side for the interest of Nigerians and Nigeria, he said.

The Commissioner said that the masses have spoken by re-electing Buhari for the second term and for continuity of national development.
