Some may argue this is a harsh assessment of Buhari's presidency, but speaking to different people in Nigeria, there are few who find much to celebrate. @TheAfricaReport pulled together 12 amazing charts looking at his economic legacy alone: https://t.co/3ndSMCv7js

🇳🇬 What legacy for outgoing president #Buhari? And are the stars aligned for a runoff in the #Nigerian presidential election?

@IsabelleTrick, Associate Director at Global Counsel, explains #F24Debate ⤵️

@ResistBureau I'd love to hear some more thoughts on potential coalitions that might emerge in different scenarios. Have any potential coalition partners been ruled out by the ANC?

@casusbellii This is particularly interesting given fear of dismissal seems to have motivated coup leader General Tiani in Niger... makes you wonder whether this might be counter-productive.

@ATAFtax @LoganWort @KPMGAfrica Is there a written or recorded version of Mr Wort's remarks I could access?

You know you are deep in election coverage mode when you are reading the country's constitution just to make sure you got the rules right... #NigeriaDecides2023

Great conversation with @Global_Counsel colleagues on the EU's new industrial plan, Nigeria's elections, and the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

@Brad_Setser This article is the clearest explanation of what's going on that I've seen - I still come back to it two months later! Thx Brad

As others have pointed out - it’s 100.01 … so even the calculation presented by the Serena 4 is wrong, as well as their understanding of maths.

[Isabelle Trick @IsabelleTrick]

Odinga "totally and without reservations" rejects the results of the presidential election & does not recognise Ruto as president-elect. Does call his supporters to peace, but this means a tense period ahead.
