“Nigeria now ranks among the leading democracies in Africa and in the Commonwealth 20 years after it began to experience uninterrupted democratic culture.”
With these words, President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019, captured his feelings when Nigeria marked 20 years of uninterrupted democracy since the country transited from military to democratic rule. It was in the wake of the 2019 general elections, and President Buhari, while speaking as visitor during the 50th convocation ceremonies of the University of Lagos, waxed lyrical about the just-concluded 2019 elections at the time.
