Nigeria’s presidential, legislative and gubernatorial elections scheduled for 2007 have the potential to be a huge milestone in the history and development of democracy in the country, as they will be the first time one administration reaches its constitutionally mandated term limit and must hand over to a successor. The elections of March/April 2003 saw Nigeria clear the hurdle of two successive elected governments for the first time in its history: However current President Olusegun Obasanjo must step down in 2007, making the establishment of a successor elected administration in that year even more of a potential landmark.
