Anybody know what this means for Nigeria? Was he a pro-market reformer? Was he a despot in the making?
Media: Nigerian presidential candidate dies
Abuja, Nigeria29 March 2007 05:44
Nigerian presidential candidate died on Thursday, local radio and television stations reported, casting doubt over whether landmark elections will be held as scheduled next month.
Adebayo Adefarati (76), candidate of the opposition Alliance for Democracy (AD), died in the south-western state of Ondo, private radio Ray Power FM reported. The station said Adefarati, who was diabetic, died in hospital.
Nigeria's Electoral Act stipulates that elections can be postponed if a candidate dies after the deadline for substituting candidates passes, which is the case now.
Spokesperson for the AD and for the electoral body were not immediately available to comment. It was not immediately clear if the AD would request a postponement of the elections.
Nigerians are due to elect their president, state governors and state and national legislators in polls that should mark the first fully democratic transition in Africa's most populous country.
The gubernatorial and state assembly elections are scheduled for April 14 while the presidential and National Assembly polls are due to be held on April 21. -- Reuters
Best post EVER!
I am the sole surviving heir of his $14 million fortune.
Forget about emails, he still has to send me that $5 million I was supposed to get for helping him!
I guess I shouldn't have quit my job....
I read that most of the people running for office in Nigeria are Muslims. Sharia Law??
Probably something simpler. Maybe the Christians have all been eaten.
Oh no you won't.

Sharia Law via bad IV.
I've won about $500 billion from their lotteries/business adventures/etc, in the last 3 months. It's no wonder he died. It obviously caused his heart to fail when he realized they were paying me all of that money. It should be here this week. All I have to do is give them $10K so they can get the government to release the money to me. Last week, I had to give them $5K to pay the taxes on the transfer. LOL
Sharia Law via bad IV.
