THE year 2018 comes to a close  today and in early 2019, Nigeria’s general elections will be conducted. By the end of February, a new dispensation would have emerged in the country. Of the contenders to the Presidency, the pair of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi has generated much racket from a few Igbo politicians.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has condoled with the family of late former President Shehu Shagari, describing him as an amiable leader that meant well for Nigeria and the world at large.

LAGOS—Vice Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Peter Obi, said, weekend, that Nigeria’s economy will keep “bleeding” if President Muhammadu Buhari remains in power for another four years.

WITH some two months to the almighty presidential election in Nigeria, one cannot but feel encapsulated in the frenetic build up to that day. Although for now, there seems a situation that can be likened to the calm before a storm, political watchers know for sure that it is all about the calm before the final push. But despite the slow motion build up, things have been happening, right from the moment the identities of the major gladiators and their running mates were known.
