The race to the number one seat, Aso Villa, Abuja in 2023, will not be determined by “Owners of Nigeria” but by the SOVEREIGN OWNER OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH for no man shall prevail by the arm of flesh!

“God changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness and the light dwells in Him.”

Pre-election year 2022 was inundated from the onset with the frenzied declarations of Nigerian Presidential aspirants of various genres who had waited impatiently to see the senile incumbent depart and make way for fresh blood with cerebral/digital ideas!

As at the last count, not less than ten politicians from both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and opposition parties have publicly announced their desires while others who wait in the wings are being prodded by overzealous supporters to throw their hats into the ring!

Fortunately for them 2023 is an all-comers affair because the 1999 Military Constitution did not make provision for retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari to seek a third term in office and he is in a dilemma on whom to declare as successor because according to him, “such anointed candidate might lose his life before his time!”

The scramble for the topmost political positions outside of the presidency has also gained such momentum of the 2007 “do-or-die” brazen posture of ex-President Obasanjo who was determined that his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), must win at all costs no matter whose ox was gored!

However on resumption in office late President Umaru Yar’ Adua confessed that “the election that brought him to power had shortcomings and was fraught with flaws!”

HAS ANY ASPIRANT THOUGHT THAT PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IS THE DIVINE WISH FOR NIGERIA?

Was it not high time the Will of God be done in Nigeria? In a parliamentary system of democratic governance of a state, the executive derives its democratic legitimacy/relevance from its ability to command the support/confidence of the legislature (typically, a parliament to which it is accountable.)

The head of state is distinct from the head of government in contrast to the presidential system where one person usurps both offices and wields draconian powers as being witnessed in Nigeria since 1999!

Parliamentary democracy which is cost-effective elects a ceremonial head of state whose role is always cordial with the head of government who has been chosen from among the legislators and sits daily with them in parliament to run the affairs of government through collective decisions.

The presidential system is very different ball game in that one man decides the fate of the entire population and arbitrarily dispenses scarce resources and squanders such in collusion with a corrupt legislature and the civil servants, because he does not derive his democratic legitimacy from the legislature!

INEC FIXES SIX BY-ELECTIONS FOR FEBRUARY 2022 IN THE FACE OF INCESSANT INSECURITY!

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has fixed Friday 26th February 2022, for the conduct of by-elections for six federal/state constituencies shortly after the Federal Capital Territory Area Council Elections scheduled for Saturday, 12th February, 2022, with a view to having sufficient time to prepare and focus on logistics for the Ekiti /Osun gubernatorial elections and by extension for the 2023 General Elections – all in the midst of chaotic and unceasing insecurity situations across the country.
In all of these political calculations, the “gladiators” remained absolutely focused on their very selfish inordinate ambitions and armed to the teeth to grab both elective/appointed positions at all costs!

And whereas the Ekiti/Osun Governorship elections slated for June and July 2022 respectively plus the Ekiti East 1 State Constituency election sandwiched in-between on the same day as the governorship election of 18th June 2022, are veritable landmines which the Federal Government has not paid enough security attention especially when the nation’s Chief Security Officer dismissed STATE POLICE as an option in solving insecurity - because the Electoral Act 2010 Laws (as amended), would still remain in operation as the harbinger of open doors to multiple forms of malpractices!

Although in a recent media interview, President Buhari promised to sign the new Electoral Act into law if the offending clause “mandating political parties to conduct their primaries through direct elections was removed,”

it is very uncertain that his intentions were genuine considering the slow legislative process which was yet to commence because the National Assembly (NASS), was still on annual vacation and also, the fact that he has less than one-and-a-half-years to finally quit office!

NIGERIAN POLITICIANS BELIEVE IN THE ARM OF FLESH – NOT IN GOD OF CREATION!

“In God We Trust” is the official motto of the United States of America and of the US State of Florida. It was adopted by the US Congress in 1956, replacing E Pluribus Unum (In Many, One), which had been the de facto motto since the initial 1776 design of the Great Seal of the United States. The inscription was signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th US President to appear on all papers, currencies, coins etc, in recognition of the Almighty God as sovereign over His creation!
The US without an iota of doubt or argument is the most etc, successful world nation - politically, economically, militarily, digital information technology, scientifically, space exploration, etc!

In the case of Nigeria, which is a SECULAR STATE, (meaning a non-religious nation), the motto is, “In arm of flesh we trust”, and the difference between the two nations is a distance between the earth and the moon! While America takes the lead in virtually every classification, indexing, comparative analysis; Nigeria takes the rear or last positions as the worst nation – poverty capital of the world, terrorist destination that should be avoided as plague by foreign investors, tourists, scientists, etc.

ALL POLITICAL ASPIRANTS HAVE BEEN CONSULTING WITH MR. PRESIDENT, PARTY CHAIRMEN, INFLUENTIAL PERSONALITIES AND “OWNERS OF NIGERIA” – BUT NOT WITH GOD, THEIR CREATOR! Question: Who is the owner of Nigeria except the Almighty God! (Psalm 24:1). [Please find below relevant verses of the divine discourse with carnal minds in Psalm 2:1-12].
1) ‘’Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2) The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3) Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4) He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5) Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7) I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10) Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11) Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

NIGERIA IS AT THE DEPARTURE LOUNGE TO PARLIAMENTARY UNICAMERAL DEMOCRACY ACCORDING TO DIVINE PLAN!

With a unicameral parliament in place and the scrapping of the SENATE concluded, a Brand New Constitution will take care of all resolved issues of National Restructuring through a popular REFERENDUM then all presidential ambitions will fizzle into illusion!

Citizens of Nigeria would neither be deceived nor browbeaten any more by the antics and desperation of President Buhari and his FAILED All Progressives Congress (APC), administration to further perpetrate the very wasteful military presidential system beyond the year 2023! Presidency will perish with Buhari’s APC!
“Where there is a will, there is a way!”
