The electoral commission, for instance, has helped implement increasingly free and fair elections. As the Bertelsmann Stiftung’s Transformation Index (BTI) shows, Nigeria has made progress in recent years in fostering democratic institutions. Question: There are also national and gubernatorial elections coming up. At this time, there is no alternative to Goodluck Jonathan. There are few people countering that message. Then there is the media: There’s a plethora of messaging on the local, national, and social media all proclaiming the various ways the ‘Transformation Agenda’ of President Goodluck Jonathan has changed the lives of Nigerians. And there are thousands of groups campaigning on behalf of the president currently about 8000 groups according to the presidential office. No other party has a candidate that is popular with the electorate. The party has, however, released a timetable for the selection of candidates for the various government offices. It’s only four months to the elections and the main opposition party, the APC, still doesn’t have a consensus candidate. Question: In your opinion, which people have a reasonable chance to win the presidency?Ĭhioma Agwuegbo: The only person who at this time stands any chance of winning the presidential elections in 2015 is the current president, Goodluck Jonathan. There are people like former vice president Atiku Abubakar who has just declared his intention to run for the presidency four-time contestant and former president Muhammadu Buhari the current governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha and a host of others. For the APC picking a candidate is a real challenge because the merger that produced the party brought with it many presidential hopefuls from the individual parties. Question: Whom might the other parties select as candidates for the presidency?Ĭhioma Agwuegbo: Even though there exist at this time 26 political parties in Nigeria, there are, in reality, only four parties that are well known: the ruling PDP, the APC, what’s left of the APGA, and the Labor Party (LP). The APC was formed in February 2013 as the result of a merger of Nigeria’s four biggest opposition parties: the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and factions of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Endorsing him officially puts a lot of pressure on the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) – especially since the APC hasn’t been able to agree on a candidate yet.
