It's good news that some persons have been discharged, the fact remains that change is catching up with us as a continent and as a nation .This attitude of non-focused Leadership should be put to rest, the leadership of the 21 century is going to be the type that can prof er solutions to situations with great insight and effectiveness , the next Era of leadership would face more difficult situations than pandemics ,Economic recession,job loss protest and change in ideology or national identity of various nations I just hope my fellow Nigerians would not vote or choose their leaders based on sentiments or stomach infrastructure, these 2 factors lacks the strength needed to tackle the next set of challenges that nations around the world might face.#God bless Nigeria...
