Nigerians go to the polls on Saturday in the first of two sets of elections to choose their president, national assembly and state legislators. It is easily Africa’s most complex logistical undertaking – 84 million voters, 119,974 polling units and the threat of sporadic security disruptions. Among the 73 presidential candidates is incumbent Muhammadu Buhari who failed in his four-year first term to defuse long-standing security threats – including Boko Haram. He still has the edge in what is billed as a two horse race in spite of also failing to fix the country’s economic problems. It remains to be seen whether Nigeria will overcome it’s history of dodgy elections and reclaim its deserved place in the eyes of the world.
