Nigeria's Political Climate
Nigerian lawmakers last month changed the country's constitution to hold elections in January, instead of April, to allow more time to resolve potential legal challenges before the start of the new presidential term in May. But the Electoral Act of 2010 also allows more time for voter registration and is now before the courts to decide whether President Goodluck Jonathan must approve the changes before they become law. This follows two former top government officials, military leader Ibrahim Babangida and vice president Atiku Abubakar saying they will seek the ruling party's nomination for next year's presidential election.
Join us for this live one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast when host Shaka Ssali and guests as we take a closer look at the political climate in Nigeria as the poll draws near.
Guests:
Professor Mobolaji E. Aluko, Ph.D.
Department of Chemical Engineering
Howard University
Alice Ukoko
Founder, Women of Africa
Via remote: London, UK
Question of the week:
Should Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan run for re-election?
