Nigeria's Tinubu says presidential vote to test democratic gains

said on Monday Nigeria's February election would be a significant step in consolidating democratic gains at a time when some other governments in the region have been ousted by military coups.

In an address at the Chatham House think-tank in London, Tinubu cited a worrying trend of attacks on personnel and infrastructure of Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission in some parts of the country. He indicated that Nigerians in the diaspora abroad would not be able to vote, saying Africa's most populous nation was still building confidence in its voting system, 23 years after the end of military rule.

Nigerian democracy has also been marred by widespread corruption and an Islamist insurgency in the north.

Unfortunately Bola Tinubu is the worst president that could ever happen to Nigeria at this period we direly need a leader with unquestionable track records of integrity, accountability and the right economic plans to recover Nigeria from organized looters.
