The Whirlwind of Politics in 2007 This is the third round of voting in this, the Fifth Republic, and on this occasion all the bad apples have been tossed out of the governorships, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and we’ve even got an elected president. What changes has this wrought? In light of this turn of events, Nigeria was hoping that a civilian government would set up an election, swear in another civilian government, and transfer power to it. It would be the first time that this happened in the political history of Nigeria. When General Abdussalami Abubakar handed over power to Obasanjo in 1999, eleven political parties participated in the election. There were three that made progress: the APP [All People’s Party], the PDP [People’s Democratic Party], and the AD [Alliance for Democracy]. When the 2003 election year arrived, there were 20 political parties that participated in the election, and four played important roles: the ANPP [All Nigeria Peoples Party], the PDP, the AD, and the APGA [All Progressives Grand Alliance]. And this year, there were 50 political parties, the significant ones being the PDP, the ANPP, the PPA [Progressive Peoples Alliance], and the AC [Action Congress], while the DPP [Democratic Peoples Party] and the APGA made a noticeable but smaller impact . These patterns suggest that Nigerians need a political system made up of between three and six political parties. A number of amazing things took place in the political arena of 2007 in every part of this country. There has never been so much criticism of an election like the criticism, from both within and outside Nigeria, of the elections that were held on 14 and 21 April, at the state and national levels. There were killings, thefts of ballot boxes, failures to provide election materials, and shortages of ballots. In this election, it was the PDP that won the presidency with their candidates Umaru Musa ‘Yar Aduwa and his vice president Goodluck Jonathan. ‘Yar Aduwa was the governor of the state of Katsina, and a Muslim from the northwest, while Jonathan had been the governor of Bayelsa State, and a Christian from the southernmost region. The PDP won 28 state governorships in the election; they were in Adamawa, Anambra, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Enugu, Gombe, Jigawa, Nassarawa, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Kwara, Kogi, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Oyo, Niger, Akwa Ibom, Benue and Edo. Opposition parties gained eight governorships in the election: the ANPP got five, namely Kano, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe and Bauchi; the PPA won two states, Abia and Imo; while the AC got only one state, Lagos. New governors were elected in 28 states. Meanwhile, the governors of Kano, Kwara, Kogi, Ondo, Ogun, Osun, Borno and Gombe, having gained the trust of their citizens, were voted back into office. Among those who have held the office of lieutenant governor since 1999, throughout Nigeria, Mahmudu Aliyu Shinkafi is the only lieutenant whose governor has given him the opportunity to take over his position in the State of Zamfara. In the 2007 election, seventeen senators from the National Assembly ran for governor. Nine were from the ANPP: Senator Paul Ohioho Ukepo (Cross River), Senator Professor Daniel Saror (Benue), Senator Faruk Bello Bunza (Kebbi), Senator Abu Ibrahim (Katsina), Senator Muhammad Kirikasamma (Jigawa), Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi (Lagos), Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Senator A.A. Ibrahim (Taraba), and Senator Mamman Ali (Yobe). Of these, only one was victorious, in the State of Yobe. The PDP fielded four senators, two of whom won and two lost: the victorious ones were Senator Oserheimen Osunbor (Edo) and Senator Liyel Imoke (Cross River); those who were defeated were Senator Ifeanyi Ararume (Imo) and Senator Musliu Obanikoro (Lagos). The DPP supported two senators, Senator Abdullahi Bala Adamu (Taraba) and Senator Lawali Shu’aibu (Zamfara), neither of whom succeeded. The APGA and the Labour Party backed one candidate each: the LP Daniel Gbenga Aluko (Ekiti) and the AGPA John Wash Pam (Plateau). Nine departing governors ran for the Senate. All of them won except one. Those who sought senatorial seats were Ahmad Maƙarfi PDP (Kaduna), Ahmed Sani Yarima ANPP (Zamfara) and Ahmed Mu’azu (Bauchi), who didn’t win; in addition to Adamu Aleiro PDP (Kebbi), Bukar Abba Ibrahim ANPP (Yobe), Saminu Turaki PDP (Jigawa), George Akume PDP (Benue), and Chimaroke Nnamani PDP (Enugu); and the former governor Kabiru Gaya ANPP (Kano). Those who were thoroughly and unsurprisingly trounced in the election, , included General Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP and Atiku Abubakar of the AC, running for president, as well as Senators Ibrahim Mantu, Arthur Nzeribe and Jonathan Zwingina. The AC candidate vanquished Mantu, while the PPA candidate defeated Nzeribe. Both Abdul Ningi and Faruƙ Lawan from the House of Representatives suffered terrible losses at the hands of the ANPP in Bauchi and Kano, respectively. Three senators who came from the State of Oyo Sanatoci were from the PDP: Kamoruddeen Adedibu, son of Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu, the political boss of Ibadan; Teslim Kolawole, senator for Central Oyo and Adedibu’s personal assistant; as well as Gbenga Babalola, senator for Oyo North and Adedibu’s son-in-law.The winner of the senate seat for Central Ogun was Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, the daughter of President Obasanjo. Also winning a senate seat was (former Yobe governor) Bukar Abba, whose wife won a seat in the House of Representatives. The wife of Uffot Ekaete, head of the federal civil service , won as senator, while Madam Mariam, the wife of national PDP chairman Ahmadu Ali, was soundly defeated at the hands of the Accord Party. Gbemi Saraki and his sister, Deji, are both younger siblings of Bukola Saraki, the governor of the State of Kwara, all of them children of Ilorin’s political strong-man, Olusola Saraki. That’s how the elder statesmen dominated the state’s politics. Orji Kalu of the PPA emerged victorious in the election, but Attahiru Ɗalhatu Bafarawa of the DPP really lost out: he didn’t get the presidency, his candidate didn’t win for governor, he didn’t win a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives, and he didn’t secure a single seat in any state legislature anywhere in Nigeria; . This same political disaster befell Banu Ɗalhatu in Kano and Jigawa. Shehu Ɗalhatu won nothing for the PAC [Progressive Action Congress], Aminu Ɗalhatu didn’t reach his goal [“the opposite river bank”] for the AC, and Mama Rabi didn’t win for the PDP, although Amina Ɗalhatu managed to win her seat in the Kaduna state assembly. Also in this election, Senator Mamman Ali won the gubernatorial race in the State of Yobe, although from the outset the courts had disqualified him, but it was unclear what they would do about Senator Albashir, whom the ANPP had recently expelled. And Dr. Ahmed Salik had received a court order stating that he be allowed to run for the House of Representatives seat for the Kano constituency of Dala. He had been arguing with Alhassan Uba Idris, whom the party approved. Likewise for Yusuf Na Annabi and A. A. Sule from Gwale in Kano. On the 29th of this month [May 2007], the new governors and president will be sworn in, while new legislators will be sworn in on 3 June 2007. What people have been anticipating since electing the president and vice-president is this: it is a Yoruba who will be President of the Senate and, even though they’ve been scurrying about, an Igbo will be Speaker of the House. Perhaps someone from Taraba or Adamawa or Gombe would take over from Mantu (becoming the new senate vice president) ; or someone from Jos or Nassarawa could become Deputy Speaker of the House. If there is one surprising thing that will not be soon forgotten it is how Umaru ‘Yar Aduwa ended up becoming the PDP presidential candidate and winning the election, when in fact he never sought the position: he was pulled into the race, given money and all the clout of the government, and put up to it. Beyond this, the organized people of Bauchi arranged, protected, accompanied their votes and waited for the election results, which produced a shocking effect in Bauchi. Another amazing development was the tough attitude of the country’s courts, especially in Abuja. Three governors, including Joshua Dariye, Rasheed Ladoja and Peter Obi, were impeached, but on account of the strength of the courts, they returned when the courts reinstated their authority. The courts also consistently ruled in favor of Atiku in his legal struggles with his boss, Obasanjo. As for the Senate and the lower House of Representatives, they really dealt a knockout blow to the 3rd term agenda to extend the tenure of the departing government, just as they did in the case of Tunji Olurin’s fooling around with military rule in the State of Ekiti. These are important political landmarks that will not soon be forgotten. The only thing that remains is to be seen is how critics and observers around the world will react to an election result they don’t like. And also, what sort of preparations will be made for the elections of 2011. My own opinion is that the cure for all political fraud in Nigeria would be to emulate Sokoto and the methods adopted by Bauchi and Kano in protecting their votes, while Lagos and Abia stood out in the way they selected their candidates. |

Elections all over the world are meant to be a tool for positive change, affecting people's socio-economic development. But over the years, voters all around the world are becoming increasingly disappointed with their political leaders turned rulers, especially on the continent of Africa, where the election of political leaders has not necessarily translated into meaningful and effective changes for the populace. http://developmentanalysts.blogspot.com/2007/03/2007-elections-in-africa-nigeria-as.html |

<eng-response>This is an editorial by Bello Muhammad that provides a breakdown of what happened in the 2007 election in Nigeria. Muhammad described the election as unprecedented in the history of Nigeria because of the amount of criticism leveled at it by people at both the national and international levels. He concluded with the opinion that the next election in 2011 would be better if Nigeria followed the examples of states like Sokoto, Bauchi, and Kano. These states followed the appropriate procedures in selecting a candidate.</eng-response>

<eng-response>This is an editorial explaining the aftermath of the 2007 election in Nigeria. According to the author, this is the first time Nigeria is receiving so much criticism about an election. The criticism relates to murders, theft of ballot boxes, and miscounting of votes. Nigerians were shocked at the candidate who won the presidential elections, the author argues, because it was obvious that he was never interested in the position. The public also blames the Nigerian government for making ‘Yar Adua the winner. The author concludes that the only solution is for Nigeria to follow the good example set by some of its states.</eng-response>

<eng-response>In this editorial, Bello Muhammad provides a breakdown of the 2007 election in Nigeria, and discusses the reactions of national and international bodies during the process. Some of the activities criticized by these bodies include murder and the mismanagement of the ballot boxes. Since the president and his vice president have been elected, Nigerians expect all the other top positions—majority leader, for example—to be occupied by Yoruba and Ibo representatives. The author concluded that Nigerians are waiting for the political opponent to take action against the whole process.</eng-response>
