Sometime ago, I had a very unproductive
argument with some friends. I was asked to
choose between a corrupt but competent
president and an incompetent president. I
refused to choose either.

But, seriously, an
incompetent president would bring down the
whole house without even realising what he
had just done.

It’s only an incompetent president that would withdraw policemen from a governor because the governor has
appointed someone he didn’t like as Emir of
Kano.
It is only an incompetent president that
would send policemen to take over the Emir of
Kano’s palace because he didn’t like the Emir,
preposterous as that may sound.
It is only an
incompetent president that would shut down
an airport because he wanted to truncate the
activities of opposition governors.
It is only an
extremely incompetent president that would
think he could bribe members of the houses of
assembly of opposition states to impeach
opposition governors or even give the
governors the option of declaring for the PDP
if they wanted to escape impeachment, as was
done to Governor Murtala Nyako. And a
president would need to be extremely
incompetent to think that he could encourage
the impeachment of all opposition governors
and nothing would happen, even if that was
obviously dumb.

It takes extraordinary
incompetence to think that you could organise
the impeachment of governors Nyako, Al-
Makura, Amaechi, Kwankwaso, Okorocha,
Oshiomhole, AbdulFatah and Ajimobi, all of
them opposition governors, and nothing would
happen.
As I write this, members of the
Nasarawa State House of Assembly, who should
be answering questions from the EFCC if the
country were working for their role in the N30
billion bond, are being prepared to impeach
Governor Al-Makura from Abuja.

Which would you choose? Corrupt but competent Or Incompetent?
