President Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday, said that the 2023 general elections outcome have proved the growing strength of the country’s democracy, and more especially, the sophistication of the Nigerian voter when it comes to the choice of the leaders.

The President who made this declaration while playing host to the newly-installed Emir of Dutse, Jigawa State Capital, Alhaji Muhammad Hamim Nuhu Sunusi at the State House in Abuja, said the stunning outcome of 10 Governors failing to make it to the Senate meant that there is no longer a guaranteed route to power, and the voter is truly the king when it comes to elections.

“It is a testament to the maturity of our democracy, and to the amazing sophistication of the voter. What shocked me was that the ordinary citizen who is usually underrated has made the point of his political understanding of things. Assumption is always that you are Governor for eight years, and you go to the Senate to crown the career. No one should underrate the Nigerian voter anymore. Politics will be more difficult henceforth,” the President said.

After listening to the Emir who listed several government projects put in place for Jigawa State under the Buhari Presidency, and a request for some more, the President promised to do his best for the State in the remaining time left, and to brief the incoming President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on those requests

The President noted in dismay that the acute shortage of potable drinking water in Dutse, the State Capital is worrisome.

Buhari told the Emir and members of the Emirate Council that he, and the entire nation will continue to miss his friend, the late Emir, Alhaji Nuhu Muhammad Sunusi, adding that he will continue to pray for the repose of the deceased.

The Emir and leader of the delegation, Alhaji Muhammad Hamim thanked the President for helping Jigawa State to excel in major rice production, for approving a rail link to Dutse from Kano and for the restoration of peace to the State, the entire nation and the neighbouring countries that had suffered perennial insecurity challenges.

The Emir also expressed appreciation for the upgrading of the Army Battalion in Dutse to a full military Brigade.
