2015 Election is getting more interesting

THE political calculations for the 2015 presidential election took an interesting dimension at the weekend when Abduljhalil Tafawa Balewa, son of the late Prime Minister, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, said he is bent on taking a shot at the leadership position which his late father, was forced to vacate 48 years ago in a military coup.

This came as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, at the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) rally in Port Harcourt, said that President Goodluck Jonathan would soon express his desire to contest next year’s election to seek a second term in office.

Though very young at the time, Abduljhalil, the late Balewa’s son, who was taken away to grow up in Switzerland since the age of two, thinks Nigeria has really not known peace since that democratic regime was interrupted.

Now a doctorate degree holder in nuclear chemistry, Jhalil thinks it’s time to look forward and work at “healing Nigeria.” He is interestingly from both northern and southern parts of the country, having been born of a Yoruba mother. To him, this is a unique selling point, as he believes he will be a perfect bridge across the divides.

“It is time to move forward but no matter what you do, you cannot run away from your past experiences. What we were trying to do and what we are trying to do now is a result of what the military inflicted on our national psyche. I don’t blame them. Things happen but you cannot treat a particular ailment without being able to diagnose it. You need to know the history or the etymology of the ailment, how you got to where you are before you can get a prescription for treatment.

“That coup was like cut of a hot knife through the butter of being of our country. We have never had peace in a true sense. I think the lesson is that good guys don’t finish last,” he said.

As a Nigerian from the Northeastern part of the nation where the Boko Haram insurgents hold sway, Balewa is optimistic about his ability and resolve to be able to help Nigeria solve the issues

I wonder which political party he's going to join. Share your thoughts!

He has to wait till 2019, because for now, no vacancy in also rock. GEJ till 2019

Better than having Jonathan in 2015

He should seek for a less demanding position first, say senator.
Nigeria is just too big for a first timer.
And we need someone brewed locally and Nigeria-spirited.

Interesting.

His welcome. To try his luck

Was it written in the will his father left that the throne of governance in Nigeria is their family heritage? Let him go and rule his father's house or he should go back to where he's coming from.

Abubakar jr looks like Ganja Man

Wily2wily: Abubakar jr looks like Ganja Man

ROFL. I tell you. His almajiri look couldn't be altered by a foreign climate in swizterland.

I doubt he understands the Nigerian politics. A newbie as such should gather experience before aiming presidency.
Buhari would defeat him up North though. He is not popular, his corrupt father was.

You can't just come from obodo oyibo and be the president. That kind of stunt should only work in monarchies. Its even a security risk, these times that some countries have 'interests' and advance neuroscience.
