Imagine going to a physician and telling him that you just mistakenly ingested a certain substance and that you wondered whether it would hurt you or not. And the physician sends you home with the instruction that the substance may make you healthier or kill you.

You probably will question the competence, even sanity, of the physician. Yet, the attempted assassination of Muhammadu Buhari presents Nigeria with a parallel paradox.

The worst electoral mistake that the opposition party, the APC in Nigeria will be making in the 2015 presidential election in that country is to go ahead and pick any of these Northern Nigerian APC governors or the former vice-president of Nigeria, Abubakar Atiku as its presidential candidate against Jonathan Goodluck.
