Nigeria, like most underdeveloped nations of the world, is faced with a plethora of challenges ranging from corruption to unemployment, a big number of out of school children, mother-child mortality, inflation, a high debt volume, lack of infrastructural development, a terrible system of governance, insecurity, food scarcity, poverty, high crime rate amongst others. These problems more often than not, are home grown. Home grown in the sense that, Nigerians in their large number have easily relinquished power to the hands of a small fraction of the entire population known as the "elite or ruling class". Members if the rulling class have since independence, commanded public wealth to a large extent such that the common man is left for dead and has no hope whatsoever. Such a trend as seen to prominence, many people rising to power on the backdrop of wealth creation through immoral ways such as money laundering, drug and human trafficking and most recently, terrorism which, is now being seen as a lucrative business by those in the corridors of power. To this end, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands to prove himself innocent as against the overwhelming series of evidence put before him by the state court in Chicago Illinois. It is pitiable, that a man with such a record can boldly run for the office of the president. In a society that has a working system, the electoral body would have disqualified the APC chieftain from running for the office until he's able to prove himself innocent before the court of law and thereafter, convince Nigerians on why he should get our votes in the 2023 polls. Sadly, because we're in a messy system where corruption and selfishness is the order of the day, very few people would have the balls to openly challenge Asiwaju to a withdrawal from the polls on the account that he has a dirty track record of drug trafficking. This was similar to the 2015 incident when this same Asiwaju asked to forget about Buhari's illiteracy record and vote for him because of his military experience since Nigeria wasn't making an headway in her fight against insurgency since 2009. It will put Nigeria on a more disgraceful global eye if Asiwaju who has a record trafficking in the US becomes Nigeria's next president. Our already damaged integrity will suffer more mockery and disassociation on the global stage and this, will be consequential in so many ways. If we're ever truly serious about revamping Nigeria through the elections next year, then an Asiwaju shouldn't be a choice.
