Diminishing impetus of June 12

33 years after: Can Nigeria ever have another election like June 12?

Nigeria's June 12, 1993 election was history's fairest poll, won by MKO Abiola (8M votes), but military annulment triggered six years of crisis. Thirty-three years later, elections remain marred by fraud; poverty surged from 39M to 131M Nigerians, and 2027 polls face insecurity and youth distrust in the democratic process.
