The article focuses on the political condition of Nigerian. People in Nigeria await political rebirth of democracy as the presidential elections are on February 27. The new commitment to democracy was displayed in the large number of voters who turned out in two earlier rounds of local and state elections. Support and political participation of Nigerians are rooted in an unwritten yet visible consensus to vote the military out and return power to the people's Parliament. The current transition program comes after two ill-fated ones organized by the military which remains in control. Three political parties are currently vying for control.
