IBADAN, Nigeria — Nigeria’s voters pressed their ink- soaked fingers to ballots Saturday in the first round of crucial April elections in the oil-rich nation.
Voters from Nigeria’s arid north to the mangroves of its southern delta decided who should sit in the country’s National Assembly, with fragmented preliminary results suggesting opposition parties made huge strides against the governing People’s Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, violence erupted in northeast Nigeria, where a radical Islamic sect operates, leaving a hotel ablaze, a politician dead and a polling station and a vote-counting center bombed.
