The 2019 presidential elections in Nigeria will be the country’s sixth since 1999, when it shifted to democracy after a long period of military rule.

Most of these elections have been tarnished by acts of violence – including attacks on politicians – and vote rigging often influences the results .

In the past, election violence has been blamed on a lack of education among citizens, poverty, the long history of military rule and corruption . However, political patronage is also to blame in a country where power and state
resources are often exploited for personal use by officeholders .

The scramble for the “national cake” by the political elite is often the real reason for many politicians’ do-or-die attitude.
