摘要
ON March 28, Nigerians made history. On this day, for the first time since the end of colonial rule in 1960, a president was voted out of office not by the barrel of a gun, but by the people through a democratic election. Retired General Muhammadu Buhari, who had a short taste of pow- er in the early 1980s as a military ruler, defeated incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan in a hotly contested presiden- tial election. The election was postponed by six weeks due to the unresolved Boko Haram militants crisis.
