Security, corruption, unemployment and a slow rate of development top the list.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />The February 14 poll is seen by many as a two-horse race between incumbent Goodluck Jonathan and the APC’s Muhammadu Buhari, even though there are over 10 other candidates. It is expected to be the closest since the country returned to democratic rule in 1999.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />The campaign team of the All Progressives Congress found a new constituency in Ghana, which houses a large number of Nigerian nationals. There were recent reports of a large number of Nigerians moving to Ghana to stay till the elections are over.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />via nigerianeye</div><br /></div>
