Elections 2015: Nigeria In Make Or Mar Polls

As Nigerians prepare to queue under the sun and the rain to make their choices in the forthcoming polls, many analysts have continued to predict the likely outcome of the election with the majority focusing on the presidential poll.
The presidential election which will be held this coming Saturday, March 28, is a straight battle between the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the retired general, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a former military president.
