The February and March elections at federal and state levels dominated the political scene. In dubious circumstances, tantamount to a silent coup d’état, Muhammadu Buhari won his second and last term, heralding another extended period of uncertainty and crisis. Although the electoral commission was not up to the task of implementing the general elections, at the end of the day the political class and the vast majority of elites demonstrated their willingness to carry on and keep the Fourth Republic alive. Regrettably, Buhari and his government gave no indication of being able to breathe new life into the political and socioeconomic system. Quite the opposite, the economic and security challenges were amplified by widespread incompetence which was evidenced in relation to various national and international issues, such as the highly questionable closing of the borders with neighbouring states.
