The Economist Endorses Buhari - Calls Goodluck Jonathan 'An Utter Failure'

Wole Soyinka slammed incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan earlier today for his failure in leadership, encouraging that no one should vote for him in the forthcoming elections, and now the Economist magazine, one of the foremost publications in the world, has come out to endorse Rtd General Mohammadu Buhari, the president's main opponent in the elections. In the choice facing Nigerians come February 14, the Economist says;

"Nigerians must pick between the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, who has proved an utter failure, and the opposition leader, Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator with blood on his hands. The candidates stand as symbols of a broken political system that makes all Nigeria’s problems even more intractable."

Though they emphasize the choice is tough, the Economist's oped published online today goes ahead to endorse Buhari over Goodluck Jonathan. Check out some excerpts below...
