Klappentext

Nigeria, Africäs most populous nation and the world s seventh most populous nation, also contributes 70% of West Africäs population. She is sub-Saharan Africäs largest oil producer and has remained Africäs largest economy by GDP since 2014. The country has hundreds of diverse ethnic nationalities and languages grouped into 36 states (or federating units) and an independent federal capital territory.
Though recognized as Africäs largest democracy, her democratisation process since the 1960s has remained tumultuous with massive electoral violence and political intolerance. This repeatedly compelled the military to intervene in the nation s political history in the years 1966, 1983 and 1985. It is these developments that provided the motivation for this volume to capture for posterity the conduct of the 2019 General Elections in Nigeria.
