The ongoing 2015 general elections has seen various faces of
international and national analyses by stake holders putting together the
events that have contributed to the success recorded by Nigeria; as well as the many challenges
surmounted by calculated attempts to maintain peace despite scary prophesies
about the elections paving the way for the dooms day of the nation.
In the words of the Catholic Bishop John Cardinal Onayekan:
“Although the elections are still ongoing; I believe that the worse is over.
The peaceful nature of the elections, as conducted in Nigeria has proven that
the hand of God is upon this nation. Those prophets of doom who had foreseen
that the end would come for Nigeria have joined others in thanking God for his
wonderful work in this nation”.
While Nigerian prayed and hoped that the elections would
come and go, peacefully; international observers like the European Union
arrived Nigeria, as far back as the month of November 2014 to commence election
observation and provide credible information on the process of the election
As observed by the European Union’s Chief observer of the elections
