Violence is built into elections in Nigeria. The wealthy and middle class know it. Church leaders know it. The heads of NGOs and CSOs know it. The international community’s diplomats and foreign elections observers know it. There is just a conspiracy never to acknowledge this fact. In Nigeria, elections are always a “Do AND Die” exercise.  

  To the Nigerian populace, the word “Restructuring” signifies “change”. It generally means resource control by the indigenous owners, and more power to the states, thus, a level of autonomy somewhat comparable to what obtained when Nigeria was a Federation in name and in fact. Tinubu, the presidential candidate of APC is visibly ailing, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, has already clearly said that restructuring is ruled out should he come to power.
