The fact that the supposed President Elect of Nigeria, Umaru Yar’Adua, won by an impossibly wide margin suggests that his party and supporters were at least in part responsible for the violence leading up to and during the polls. No one but Yar'Adua and his cohorts seem willing to accept the elections as valid. However, we have seen thus hundreds of times over. It is doubtful that their will be a new election, it is cruel to ask of people who already risked their lives to cast apparently invalid ballots. The people of Nigeria have not spoken, twas ever thus.
