A presidential campaign is underway, with the future of Nigeria at stake. The campaign is seen as a contest of ideas, where the side with the best vision for the country's future wins. A strong opposition is considered essential in this process.
The importance of opposition is highlighted by the example of President Goodluck Jonathan's government, which allowed opposition parties to express themselves freely. This freedom of expression was exercised in various ways, including protests and criticisms.
Further details on the campaign and the role of opposition in Nigeria's political system are available from the source, including an opinion piece by Sunny Ikhioya.
