, Safari Books, 2013. It is a compendium which reviews all the twelve general elections we had in Nigeria between 1951 and 2011. Ahmadu Kurfi is the most qualified person to write such a book because he has been a keen and informed observer of all of the elections. He had vast experience in public and electoral administration and his work career started way back in 1951.
At the analytical level, one of the most important lessons we learn from Ahmadu Kurfi is the way in which incumbency has been used to rig second round elections. While the elections of 1959, 1979 and 1999 were relatively free and fair, incumbents used state power to massively rig elections that were organised in 1964, 1983, 2003 and 2007. As he put it, state power was used to “deliver” votes for the ruling party.
