Ahead of Nigeria's crucial 2015 general
elections, supporters of the opposition
party, the All Progressives Congress
(APC), and its presidential candidate
Muhammadu Buhari have erected campaign
billboards in Accra, the capital of Ghana.
The billboards, which are visible in certain key
points in Accra, do not only call on Nigerians to
go home and vote for the APC, but also seem to
present to the outside world the current situation
in Nigeria. Security, corruption, unemployment
and a slow rate of development top the list.
The February 14 poll is seen by many as a two-
horse race between incumbent Goodluck
Jonathan and the APC’s Muhammadu Buhari,
even though there are over 10 other candidates.
It is expected to be the closest since the country
returned to democratic rule in 1999.
The campaign team of the All Progressives
Congress found a new constituency in Ghana,
which houses a large number of Nigerian
nationals. There were recent reports of a large
number of Nigerians moving to Ghana to stay till
the elections are over.
