[size=28pt]First of all, it was NOT Brookings US that wrote this paper. It was a Nigerian professor.[/size] Brookings Global Staff | December 30, 2014 4:00pm Foresight Africa 2015: Understanding the Issues in the 2015 Nigerian Presidential Election In February 2015, voters in Nigeria, sub-Saharan Africa’s most populous country and largest economy, will head to the polls to choose their next president. In the past few years, several separate, regional political parties merged into the All Progressive Congress, creating the opportunity for a credible opposition to pose a real challenge to the ruling People’s Democratic Party, which has been in power since the transition to civilian rule in 1999. Tensions in the country are high: Regional economic inequality has exacerbated the long-standing north-south, Christian-Muslim divides. Similarly, President Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to run again has disrupted traditional power-sharing agreements among the regions and religions. Boko Haram continues to threaten security around the country, especially in the north. The post-election violence of 2011 also continues to cast a shadow over the country. In his brief, Jideofor Adibe—senior lecturer at Nasarawa State University, editor of the academic journal African Renaissance and co-editor of the Journal of African Foreign Affairs—gives an overview of the 2015 Nigerian presidential election, explaining the unique historical context of this diverse country and setting out the top issues on voters’ minds this year. Read the related paper (PDF) » Adibe navigates the complex history of overlapping religious, regional and economic divisions within Nigeria and notes that one of the most influential factors in the election will be the power of Jonathan’s incumbency.

Now, let’s talk about the 72-year old man who was kicked out of power as a military dictator in 1985. If there is any reason that makes a Jonathan re-election even more imperative, it is the fact that Nigeria’s opposition party, the The All Progressives Congress(APC), looked at Nigeria and went into the graves of our nation’s painful past to exhume their candidate. There is nothing new that Buhari is bringing to the table in 2015 that Jonathan did not accomplish in four years . Beyond party affiliation, as a Nigerian youth, there is something awfully about the idea of a Buhari presidency. There are some brands that packaging cannot sell, no matter the competence, creativity or innovation of the packager. This is the dilemma of the Buhari campaign. 1 Like |

He will retain his office because of the following ###Decree 20 on illegal ship band drug trafficking was another example of Buhari’s tough approach to crime.[54] Section 3 (2) (K) provided that “any person who, without lawful authority deals in, sells, smokes or inhales the drug known as cocaine or other similar drugs, shall be guilty under section 6 (3) (K) of an offence and liable on conviction to suffer death sentence by firing squad.” In the case of Bernard Ogedengebe, the Decree was applied retroactively.He was executed even if at the time of his arrest the crime did not mandate the capital punishment, but had carried a sentence of six months imprisonment. Benard Ogedengebe died for nothing... dont take what u cant give,,, |

He and his cronies have castigated all muslims in Nigeria and enveloped them as blood sucking terrorists. Meanwhile roughly half of the country is Muslim. I see 95% of of them voting for APC. Rubbish!!! Provide a link where the president castigated Islam or shut the hell up.. 3. He and his followers then decided to become dumbasses of the century by focusing on rotten smear tactics that have reached a new low. I can see more than 99% of reasonable, literate and intelligent people voting for APC. it seems we have different definitions of Dumbass!!!

On a whole Jonathan has underperformed and destroyed critical areas of Nigeria in terms of economy, security, infrastructure,etc. I see patriotic and well meaning Nigerians voting 100% for APC. The best way to judge performance is by making some sort of before/after comparison.. Find time to compare the economy and other indices before GEJ to them Now the GEJ has completed his first term. I doubt you have the capacity to make such honest comparison. Now tell me how Jonathan can win the election. Nigerians will vote him irrespective of what you think  Sai Buhari!!!

The REAL report: THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA: THE ISSUES AND CHALLENGES Jideofor Adibe, Senior Lecturer, Nasarawa State University; Editor, African Renaissance; Co-editor, Journal of African Foreign Affairs THE PRIORITY The 2015 presidential election in Nigeria-the fifth since 1999 when the military handed over power to elected civilians-will be the first time that the opposition will have a realistic chance of wresting power from the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). All things being equal, it will be a two-horse race between the ruling PDP and the main opposition party, the All Progressive Congress (APC)-the party formed in February 2013 from a merger of three ethnically and regionally based political parties. Before the emergence of the APC, opposition parties were mostly fragmented along regional and ethnic lines, making it impossible for them to mount a credible challenge to the ruling PDP. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? The emergence of a viable opposition coin- cides with a period of great tension between north and south, arising from the decision of President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2011 elections, a decision that has made many northerners feel cheated of their turn in pro- ducing the president and that induced some violence. With President Jonathan, a southern Christian, contesting again and very likely facing a northern Muslim candidate, the elections will have implications not just for north-south relations but also for the survival of the country's democracy. Nigeria is the continent's biggest economy and most populous country, and so instability in Nigeria could have dire economic impacts for the region. Similarly, with the number of internally displaced people from the Boko Haram conflict estimated at about 650,000 as of August 2014 (The Guardian 2014), a mismanaged election could trigger post-election violence that will exacerbate the refugee crisis both internally and at the regional level. For instance, it has been estimated that the Boko Haram conflict has led to more than 100,000 Nigerians seeking refuge in Niger's Diffa region since the beginning of 2014. It is also estimated that there are 44,000 Nigerian refugees in Cameroon and 2,700 in Chad (Baiyewu 2014). Ironically, the neighboring countries where Nigerians are seeking refuge from the Boko Haram conflict are already quite poor and have severe socioeconomic challenges of their own. Issues That Will Drive the Election North-South, Christian-Muslim Divide The fault lines of region, ethnicity and religion run deep in Nigeria. Virtually every part of the country has an institutionalized memory of injury or feelings of injustice, which they often feel will be best addressed if one of their own wields power at the center, preferably as the president. Similarly, there is a pervasive fear that the president of the country will abuse the powers of his office to privilege his region, ethnicity or religion-if not to punish or deliberately disadvantage others. To allay fears of domination, most Nigerian political parties have written or unwritten zoning and power rotation arrangements in which the parties agree that key offices and candidates should be produced by designated sections of the country for a certain number of years. For instance, under the PDP's arrangements, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba from the southwest, served for two terms of four years before power was "returned" to the north. The north's "turn" was, however, interrupted after Obasanjo's successor, Umaru Yaradua, a Muslim from Katsina state, died in office in 2010 and was succeed- ed by then-Vice President Jonathan. This result shortened the north's "turn" in power and extended the south's-frustrating many northerners. In 2011, influential people in the north argued that Jonathan should serve out only Yaradua's remaining first term in office and not contest those presidential elections. However, Jonathan did run and won-triggering post-election violence in the north in which an estimated 800 people lost their lives (Human Rights Watch 2011). Jonathan's supporters have a contrary argument. For them, in the 39 years between the time the country gained independence in 1960 and the inauguration of the Fourth Republic in 1999, the north ruled the country for about 35 of them and should therefore be patient for that "historical injustice" to be re- dressed first.   North-South Regional Inequalities Nigeria is sometimes described as a country that runs on two unequal wheels. In 2013, the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital produced a report titled, "Nigeria Unveiled," which painted the picture of Nigeria's economy as moving on two wheels-a thriving south with rising income, lower unemployment and better educated citizens, and a much poorer, less educated and struggling north (Atuanya 2013). Based on this economic imbalance, the north's dominance of power before 1999 was justified as a lever to balance the south's economic advantage. Thus, for some, since the south has held the presidency for 12 of the 15 years of civilian rule since 1999 means that the north has lost its leverage in the north-south equation. Muhammadu Buhari-a Muslim and former military head of state with cult following in the north-was chosen as APC's presidential candidate. The election is therefore likely to witness an intense politicization of the Muslim-Christian divide and the north-south dichotomy in the country, which will add to the already existing tension in the country. Vice Presidential Running Mate APC strategists are banking on a combination of votes from the populous northwest (18 million votes), northeast (11 million votes) and southwest (13.5 million votes) for victory. Based on this calculation, the APC, after choosing Buhari from the northwest as its presidential candidate, also chose Professor Yemi Osinbajo, a Christian from from the southwest, as its vice presidential candidate. What remains to be seen, however, is whether Bola Tinubu-a former governor of Lagos State who played a pivotal role in the formation of the APC and is considered to be the party's strongest mobilizer in the southwest-will be very enthusiastic in delivering the battleground southwest to the APC during the elections. Tinubu indicated his interest in being the party's vice presidential candidate but being a Muslim like Buhari, the party's strategists felt that a Muslim-Muslim ticket might offend Christians and cement the PDP's labeling of the APC as an Islamic party. Money and the Power of Incumbency The greatest strength of the ruling PDP is its "power of incumbency," and all the institutional support that goes with it. Not only does it have federal resources to use as patronage, it also controls key institutions like the police, the army and the anti-corruption agencies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which could be used to harass political enemies. Furthermore, of the 36 states in the country, the PDP has 21 governors while APC has 14. The PDP also holds comfortable majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Similarly, money plays a very important role in Nigerian politics-in campaigning, media reach and vote buying (which is a common practice in Nigerian elections). Where the voters are suffi- ciently animated by a certain cause, the role of money in influencing the outcome of an elec- tion will be muted. However, in places where the election is close, the role of money, especially in vote buying and other material inducements such as distribution of bags of rice, wrappers or motorcycles, will become quite important. Jonathan's Performance in Office Jonathan's supporters argue that-despite Boko Haram-the country is thriving: The economy continues to grow and-with the re- basing of its GDP-became the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Jonathan's supporters also point to his success in containing the Ebola virus, which earned him commendations from countries and institutions around the world. For his critics however, his incompetence is reflected in the high unemployment rate, which worsened from 12 percent in 2006 to 24 percent in 2011 (Premium Times 2013), general insecurity in the country and the deepening suspicion among the different ethnic groups. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo in fact accused Jonathan of being a polarizing figure who promotes clannishness, "For you to allow yourself to be 'possessed,' so to say, to the exclusion of most of the rest of Nigerians as an 'Ijaw man' is a mistake that should never have been allowed to happen," an angry Obasanjo wrote in an 18-page letter to the president (Adoyi 2013). Opinions on Jonathan's approach to Boko Haram vary wildly as well: His critics cite terrorism as more evidence of his incompetence. On the other hand, his supporters claim that the terrorism is actually evidence of a siege laid on his administration by powerful politicians from the Muslim north aiming for it to fail. The Electoral Umpire There is a consensus that the performance of the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has improved in terms of the transparency and logistics of the electoral processes under its current chairman, the northerner Professor Attahiru Jega. How- ever, the INEC continues to be viewed with a great deal of suspicion by all sides. The APC has many times insinuated that INEC is being manipulated by the PDP-controlled federal government. In fact, the APC declared it had lost confidence in Jega to conduct credible elections shortly after the 2013 gubernatorial elections in Anambra State, which were marred by late or non-arrival of voting materials and which was won by a party allied with the PDP (Olatunji 2013). Jega has already been accused of planning to rig the 2015 election when he suggested creating more polling booths, most of which were to be put in the north (Nigerian Tribune 2014). Perceptions of the neutrality of INEC will be crucial in the acceptance of the outcome. However, if the country's electoral history is anything to go by, the outcome of the elections will be contentious, irrespective of the opinion of the election observers. PDP and APC: Strengths and Weaknesses After suffering a wave of defections to the APC last year, including five of its governors, the PDP seems to have rebounded strongly. In the battleground southwest, for instance, the party won recent governorship elections in Ekiti state and got the governor of Ondo State to defect from the Labor party to the PDP. The party is especially strong in the south-south (where Jonathan comes from), the southeast and among Christians in the north. Again, while the PDP remains weak in the Muslim north, it has gained new influential members who decamped from the APC including the former governors of Kano State and Borno State. And, of course, the PDP has the power of incumbency. The APC gets much of its strength from tap- ping into anti-Jonathan sentiments in the Muslim north and grievances among the Yoruba who feel that the Jonathan administration has ignored them in key political appointments. Al- legations of corruption against top PDP officials will be powerful ammunition in the hands of the APC, especially with the choice of Buhari, widely seen as not corrupt, as the party's presidential candidate. The party is, however, a fragile one that seems united only in its quest to wrest the presidency from Jonathan or to have power "returned" to the north. Though the election is expected to be very competitive, the odds still favor President Jonathan. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN 2015 Avoiding a Meltdown Given the centrality of political power in Nigeria, the election-just like almost all elections in Nigeria-will be highly contentious and the losing side is likely to blame its fate on rigging. Post-election violence is therefore likely in the north if the APC loses while renewed militancy in the restive Niger Delta is likely if Jonathan does. A main source of concern will be if the elec- tions become stalemated for a prolonged period or if the scale of post-election violence gets beyond a certain threshold. In these scenarios, we may have to keep an eye on some military adventurists who may be tempted to use the opportunity to cause trouble-especially if the Boko Haram challenge remains intractable. How can the country avoid the scenario of the 2015 elections leading to the implosion of the country, given how high the stakes are? Despite several more outlandish theories that Nigeria will disintegrate in 2015, chances are that the elections will come and go and the country will remain with its political problems largely unresolved (Adibe 2014). The country is a master at teetering on the precipice: It has survived major crises, including a civil war (1967-1970). Hanging on a cliff without falling over may indeed be the country's comfort zone. To minimize the chances of the elections leading to chaos and violence, a number of pre- and post-election arrangements are imperative. These include updating and double checking the electoral register at least one month before the polling day. The electoral commission should also develop robust early warning systems in areas where there are likely to be logistical problems and where pre- or post-election violence are likely to occur. Credible local and international observers must be allowed to monitor the elections to ensure that the entire electoral processes are transparent. Well-trained security personnel should be deployed in volatile areas to prevent or stop outbreaks of violence. In the longer term, Nigeria should also devise more effective strategies for dealing with the crises in its nation-building processes, which have led to virtually every section of the country feeling marginalized or alienated from the Nigeria project. The country should also continue to explore more effective means of dealing with the Boko Haram terrorism just as it needs to find the necessary political will to embark on reforms that will make the electoral processes less contentious.
