Soon, Nigeria will mark ten years of world’s most devastating power shift and handover.

After ten years, everyone is now convinced that it was a curse that befell Africa’s most populous nation — a curse that brought pain, plague, sorrow, hardship, insecurity, death and ultimately ended a nascent democracy.

It was a mandate procured with lies, hate, fr@ud and the blo0d of innocent people.

Nigeria’s power shift from President Goodluck Jonathan to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 was a significant event, marking the first time an incumbent president lost re-election in the country.

This transition was seen as a major milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey

Some of the challenges Nigeria faced during this period include:

Economic instability: The country faced a recession in 2016, largely due to a decline in global oil prices.

Security concerns: The Boko Haram insurgency continued to pose a significant threat to national security.

Infrastructure deficits: Nigeria’s infrastructure, including its power sector, remained underdeveloped, hindering economic growth.

Despite these challenges, the transition marked an important step in Nigeria’s democratic development, demonstrating the country’s ability to transfer power peacefully.
