Meanwhile, as congratulatory messages continued to pour in from within and outside the country over the re-election of President Buhari, former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has kept mum over the development.

Prominent and well-meaning Nigerians as well as international leaders have since been commending and congratulating Buhari over his victory in the election, widely adjudged as peaceful and credible.

Obasanjo, who had been quite vocal in the build-up to the election has, however, appeared to have suddenly gone into hiding by keeping silent since the result was announced.
