Nigerians are pretty much forced to choose between these
two... A lousy leader and a grandpa with flaws.
About two days to go to the presidential election. It is
obvious those two would take 95% of the votes but the
country would do best without either l believe.
The incumbent has failed us. He took over from an ailing
leader who was unarguably the best in recent times. He was
part of that administration but immediately he took over
changed every thing. 7 points agenda became 5. While he
struggled with instability and insensitivity within, the
country failed internationally. Everyday people question his
ability to control and manage the nation when it is obvious
he can't manage his 'Dame' wife who is the Sambo we
never voted for. He asks us to trust him to complement his
achievements. The achievements I can't see. Our economy
keeps sinking, foreign reserve depleted, no power, no
stability, no security.
The ruler in the past who ruled when of age is another
option. He is telling us when he ruled in his prime he wasn't
perfect but wants to perfect it now that he is close to
alzheimer and hypertension. He has been criticised for his
harshness in action and speech. He couldn't keep by his
words of not competing again. He is considered a better
option but the truth is he really shouldn't be an option. He
preaches change.
Change is measured. A little difference is a change. Nigeria
doesn't need a change. She needs to be resuscitated. A
dying person could be put on life support that's a change
possibly preventing death. Such patient could also be
diagnosed and treated. The difference between these two is
that one is helped to struggle to live by machines and the
other is living and jumping. What Nigeria needs is someone
that would diagnose and treat it not someone to put it on
life support because the past leader has injured her fatally.
While we have to pick the better of these two necessities I
call on us to remember they are not really options but
candidates forced upon us by the nature of our choices and
decisions. I pray by subsequent elections we have true
options in numbers.
Thank you.
