Samuel took to his Twitter page on Friday, March 1, to share video of himself in a car telling a beggar that he would not give him his money.

No voter should be discriminated against because of their choice of candidates. Elections will come and go and intolerance should be discouraged during and after elections, Legit.ng understands.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Nigerians from all walks of life reacted differently to President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the Saturday, February 23 presidential election.

While some celebrated the president's emergence others expressed displeasure over his re-election bid, which will last for another four years.

One of President Buhari's supporters took to social media to shed tears of joy over the president's victory in the election.

In another previous report by Legit.ng, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory in the Saturday, February 23 presidential election and asked Atiku Abubakar and other candidates to accept defeat in good faith.

The labour congratulated the president in a statement on Wednesday, February 27, by its president, Ayuba Wabba.

The union also congratulated other candidates for their participation and urged them to adhere to the peace accord they signed before the election.

It said: “The Nigeria Labour Congress wishes to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari on his re-election as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, being the second person to get re-elected since the return to civilian rule twenty years ago.

“We also wish to congratulate other candidates for their participation and urge them to accept the outcome of the election, and adherence to the peace accord they had signed before the election.

“Mr President won in 2015 on his campaign promise to fight corruption, restore security and grow the economy. From his re-election, this may have boded well with the greater majority of the people who voted for him."

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
