The election of Olusegun Obasanjo to the presidency of Nigeria in 1999 effectively brought an end to 16 years of military rule. Obasanjo became only the third head of government to be elected by the people. Nigerians greeted the transition from military to civilian rule with open arms as they looked forward promises of stability, peace, and prosperity.
Obasanjo assumed the presidency with an avowed commitment to combating many of the ills that plagued the country. His pronouncements before and after his election suggested that he intended to follow through on this platform, bridging the cleavages between ethnic and religious groups, and guiding the country through the process of democratization. The general public’s expectation was that the country’s return to democratic governance would lead to the restoration of freedoms lost under the previous regimes.
