The Real Meaning Of "Sai Buhari"

Nigeria presidential elections might have come and gone, free and fair to say the least, through which the APC presidential candidate Gen. Mohammadu Buhari emerged as winner, defeating the county's top opposition party 'PDP'.

During the election campaign of the APC presidential candidate, one word was on the lip of every APC supporter. Shouting, Screaming and chanting with unwavering support "SAI" Buhari .

Nigerians might have campaigned for Buhari and rejoiced over his victory, but in reality how many really knew the meaning of the popular chanted slogan "Sai Buhari" ? . Maxnaija will be letting you know more about this popular slogan.

For an average Nigerian, it was probably considered to mean "Vote Buhari" , and for others it was also considered to mean "Say Buhari" . In truth the above interpretations might sound ideal and appropriate, but it doesn't change the fact that most Nigerians are still ignorant of the slogan.

The word "Sai" is an Hausa word which means until, not until, then, except, no one except, now when chanting the popular slogan "Sai Buhari" it actually means No one else is worthy except Buhari.
