Nigeria's electoral dance continues

From the BBC: Nigerian poll boycott scuppered

"Nigerian presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari will not boycott Saturday's elections, his party says, splitting an opposition alliance.

"The All Nigeria People's Congress spokesman said as 'true and patriotic democrats' they did not want to play into the hands of the ruling party...

"Mr Buhari had called for an opposition alliance against the PDP's Umaru Yar'Adua but neither he nor Mr Abubakar seems willing to step aside for the other."
