Any ruling party can make even a goat win an election. The only exception to this great truism is Goodluck Jonathan who lost his baton. Nigeria had a much-ballyhooed presidential election on February 25, and there is not much to report except that the election was bought and sold.
Any talk of the elections being free, fair and credible belongs
to fiction. The election result was declared at the ungodly hour of 4am, and
losers in the contest were asked to go to court. It’s a well-worn mantra – steal the election for me and tell the
opposition to go to court very fast.
