Actual cause of disagreement

[edit]

This is wrong. The disagreement is in the fact that President Jonathan is a Southerner. The Northern part of the country believes that it is their time to rule the country as a result of a non-official power-sharing agreement made amongst the top shareholders in the ruling majority party of PDP (People's Democratic Party). This needs to be corrected to reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.90.254.16 (talk) 14:42, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

[edit]

I don't know about you, but this article seems very biased. Take a look at what is written in the "Candidates" subsection: "As this was supposed to be the turn of a Muslim candidate..." as well as the words: "After initial doubts, the as yet unelected president Goodluck Jonathan". I don't think the author of this article makes any attempt to hide their personal bias -- rejecting any sense of neutrality that an encyclopedic article should have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.90.254.16 (talk) 14:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Background

[edit]

This section needs to be updated, because it appears to have been written before the election, and implies that the election has not yet happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.68.235 (talk) 20:52, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re-elected?

[edit]

How he can been re-elected as President (as stated on the first page of Wikipedia) if he was previously elected only as a Vice-President?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.28.132.149 (talk) 18:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The wording has been changed to "elected." –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 12:47, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The image showing who won what states needs updating

[edit]

if somebody knows how to, could they please update the image that shows which candidate won which state. adamawa state was actually won by buhari not jonathan.Artefactual (talk) 03:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

never mind i fixed it myself.Artefactual (talk) 05:06, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An anonymous editor apparently disagrees. We need a source on results by state, so that we can settle this one way or the other. Aridd (talk) 20:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Found a source. The BBC says Adamawa was won by Jonathan. I'll see if I can fix it in the article. Aridd (talk) 20:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps that was an incomplete election result because i have a very reputable map of adamawa going to buhari from the Economist titled "Nigeria's prospects: A man and a morass: Can the new government of Goodluck Jonathan clean up corruption and set enterprise free in Africa’s most populous country? May 26th 2011, ABUJA, KANO AND ONITSHA." based on this latest information i will be updating the map as it was previously.Artefactual (talk) 11:25, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
