......Let not your failure define you. Let your failure teach you.
                                                                 Barrack Obama.
Unfortunately the 'campaign team' of the presidential candidate, Auwal Mukhtar Sirajo in just concluded election are farfetched responsible on the misfortune that befell their candidate on the poll. They may not know of this though, well it is the truth. Their ineptitude,  insincerity, insensitive, and political miscalculation accentuated their incompetent and social follies in giving advice to him.  They thought politics is about personal business and grudges, to them if you have a common difference with them you have no business in them. This alone is a myopic way of thinking.
Auwal's campaign team lack of tolerance to accommodate all people regardless of class,  status, ethnic/region and academic performance make them to loss the election before even the actual voting day. To them their first priority to choose leader who will lead them is,  how that  candidate perform academically. Why they forget that academy performance has nothing to do with leadership qualities. And the flimsy campaign strategy on such thing , make their candidate to lost his popularity among the electorates even before the election. Auwal has no problem in the way he approach people, is humble, polite and humane. But his campaign team lack all these which consequently made him to suffered their ineptitude.
Again another major thing that contributed to his lost,  is the' hate campaign' strategy his team had been making viral in social media and in verbally when in contact with those whom they considered opposition or working with their opponent. Such things like, their opponent has three carryovers, he is not competent,  he can't speak good English, and other irrelevant issues that has no ground in politics.  Should they spend all those precious time they uselessly squandered in their 'hate campaign ',  in promoting their candidate 's qualities, competency,  vibrancy,  humbleness,  I'm sure he would have not lost his polarity day before the election. Politics is not about hate campaign against your opponent, politics is all about promoting your candidate.
Because they already sore their relationship with people,  they in turn became paranoid thinking that if you take no interest in their ideology,  it mean you hated them.  They also have this 'guilty conscious ' ingrained in them. Which make them to think that everybody doesn't like their candidate. To be frank I personally, did not have any problem with the candidate I know he could do the job. But my major problem is with his campaign team they have no regard to people 's personality,  dignity or respect. And why I debunked their ideology is simple,  because they have no social orientation and dignity to human.
If Auwal would or any candidate have these bunch of  inept,  insensitive,  myopic,  human wolf, and floozy individuals as campaign team,  will never win election where there are sensitive, educated and civilized people like Faculty of Law BUK.  To risk being exaggerating , if Auwal will re-contest again (with someone worst than Kwaro) with those people as his campaign team he will never win the election.
