Sommario/riassunto

Nigeria's Critical Election is an analytical exposition of the salient constitutional and political issues by Nigerian scholars who have studied, lived through, and taught those issues over the years. It offers a refreshing understanding of Nigerian politics which by issues,



undertones, and sheer speed of political events are normally complex.
