Democratic Revolution Starts in Nigeria
The raw results coming from today’s legislative elections in Nigeria show that the ruling party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is taking a beating across the country.

The PDP is reported to have lost in a polling booth inside the home of the president called Aso Rock. It is like saying that President Obama lost in a polling booth inside the White House.
Also shocking was the preliminary result that shows that the Speaker of the House of Representative as well as the President of the upper house, the Senate, all lost their reelection bids.
Also, the daughter of the former president, Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, is said to be losing to the opposition candidate in the South West.
If these results stand when the electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announces its official results, then a democratic revolution has started in Nigeria.
Next Saturday, Nigerians will again go to the poll. This time they will be electing their president. With this sweeping performance by the opposition party in today legislative elections, President Goodluck may have run out of luck.
