33 years after: Can Nigeria ever have another election like June 12?

The June 12, 1993 presidential election in Nigeria, won by MKO Abiola (SDP) with over 8 million votes against 6 million for Bashir Tofa (NRC), is arguably the freest and fairest in Nigeria's history. The election used the Option A4 system (voters queue behind their candidate) and was annulled by General Ibrahim Babangida's military regime, sparking a political crisis. 33 years later, the article questions whether Nigeria can ever replicate such an election, noting that recent primaries have seen shameful manipulations.
