Nigerians will today go to poll to elect their next president - an
election many pundits predict to be the toughest in Nigeria's
political history.
BBC's Will Ross had in Lagos said: "This election is likely to be a
tight race, especially if the opposition manages to stay united behind
one candidate".
Today's Presidential election is obviously a two-horse race between
PDP's President Goodluck Jonathan and APC's Mohammadu Buhari (rtd).
Having defeated Mr. Atiku Abubakar his closest rival in the APC's
primaries, Buhari is now set to challenge President Goodluck Jonathan -
a repeat of 2011 poll.
In the previous election, Jonathan recorded a landslide victory over
Buhari, winning with almost 59% of the votes against 32%,
sparking widespread unrest in Northern areas which backed Mr. Buhari.
More than 500 people were killed and thousands of people were forced
out of their homes.
Amidst of the insecurity tussle in the Country, the APC's chosen
candidate, Buhari, has vowed to leave no stone unturned in
tackling the country's insecurity saga if elected.
