Kano Rerun: Should Buhari be blamed for widespread violence and disruption?

Some Nigerians have urged that President Muhammadu Buhari, should not be blamed for the widespread violence that marred the March 23rd, supplementary polls in Kano state.

According to this group of Nigerians, the Presidenr should be rather hailed for his neutrality in the electoral process and if anyone should be incumbent governor, Abdullahi Ganduje or former governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

This follows reports of widespread violence, disruption, intimidation, mass rigging and ballot snatching that characterized the election. Although the police in Kano have denied reports that the supplementary polls in the state was marred by thuggery and disruption.

Meanwhile, there are others who believe that Buhari, can’t be isolated from the happenings of Kano rerun, as he is very aware and that it happened under his watch.

Buhari is doing nothing to help Ganduje and will not say anything for Abba gida gida either! Not only Kano are having this rerun stuff. Maintain yourselves and behave that's just it. Anything pass this blame your government or securities and not PMB

If PMB had sided with Abba or Ganduje, you lots would be here pouring insults. Man is neutral but your head is still paining you

Those who believe otherwise

I’m Buharist, but based on real time updates, what is going on in Kano today is not election. It’s a broad daylight rape on democracy and thuggery under your watch sir @MBuhari

There’s no way to tell me Buhari doesn’t know what’s happening in Kano right now! If he chooses to let them do what they want he surely betray us, and now we truly know the type of Man he is. Allah ya isah wallahi.
