10 Important Political Events In 2019 That Could Affect Global Politics
#1. February 16: Nigeria General Election
One of the important political events people around the world are looking forward to is Nigeria General election. This election is scheduled to hold on the 16th of February, 2019.
The major contestants aspiring to be the next President of Africa’s largest economy (Nigeria) are; President Muhammadu Buhari (The Incumbent President) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president of the country.
While the former is running under the platform of the ruling party, APC, the latter is a candidate of the opposition party, PDP.
The emergence of President Buhari as the President of Nigeria in 2015, was the beginning of a new era. It was the first time power was peacefully passed from one party to another.
As February 16th is fast approaching, there are still some questions Nigerians need answers to. One of them is “Does any of the candidates have the masses at heart”?
#2. March 29: Brexit Day
