Nigeria
In February, Nigeria is going to the polls to vote for their leaders. Incumbent, Muhammadu Buhari, is up for re-election and is up against at least 13 candidates for the post, including former vice president Atiku Abubakar.
Quite a number of women are eyeing the job, hoping to unseat Buhari, whose term has been marred by many issues including his absences from the country due to illness.
