The Dignity Of The Office Of The President. by reganvida: 6:23pm On Jan 10, 2015
There is one thing we Nigerians don't seem to understand concerning the office of the president. We tend to forget that the office of the president deserves some dignity despite who occupies it.,that office deserves respect.
In developed countries,despite the bitterness of the opposition to the current occupier of that seat,there are limits to the words they use while criticizing the president. e.g, when president Bill Clinton was accused of sleeping with Monica Lewinsky,we all saw how the opposition went for his jugular to resign but that was done with calculated criticisms without insulting the Office of the President because they know what that office stands for despite the fact that the occupant of the office committed adultery.
That doesnt seem to be so in Nigeria. A lot of abuse has been directed to the office of the president that am beginning to wonder if he is senior prefect of a school rather than the leader of Nigeria.
We all know what happens in less developed countries like Zimbabwe and Sudan when insults is launched on the office of the president. Nigeria is aspiring to be like the U.S,France and U.k we should try to borrow a leaf from their attitude.
It is GEJ today,it maybe GMB tomorrow or even you. The earlier we learn dignity and respect that accurs to that office,the better.
