How Not To Win Elections.....2

Hello, Is there anyone out there keenly following up on Nigerian news? We just got a BIG! BIG!! surprise in the news yesterday here in Nigeria! Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State won a judgement in the Supreme Court against current governor who got elected in phantom electoral process I described in my first How Not To Series. Governor Obi ought to serve out a 4-year tenure going by the Constitution starting from when he was installed as governor BUT his mandate was never handed over to him but to certain favourable person to the government. He was however re-instated (temporarily) eventually through the justice system and the same system has given him back HIS mandate. It's a real way forward for Nigeria.
