Deadlytruth:
This is not really about role modelling but integrity. Integrity is being able to stand for a principle or idea whether wrong or right without allowing circumstances of personal interest to at any time interfere with your commitment to that principle. To that effect even the likes of Hitler and Abacha had integrity though in pursuit of wrong courses, but Ribadu has no integrity as he forcefully said things which he later never stood with. Imagine someone telling Atiku in very strong and passionate language that only Atiku's immunity prevented him from jailing him only for Atiku's immunity to expire while he still had the power to jail him as he had claimed but ended up pretending he never said so about Atiku. You call that integrity?
In fact when people accused him of pursuing only OBJ's enemies he broke down in tears in order to emotionally substantiate his denial of political witch-hunting thus reinforce the claim that Atiku and Tinubu were actually corrupt and therefore deserved his onslaught as EFCC boss. While those crocodile tears ran down his incredulous cheeks he argued that Atiku was his fellow Adamawa brother and therefore ostensibly suggesting that he even had every reason to shield Atiku from persecution but chose not to consider his brotherly ties with him as a mark of his integrity. But after the expiration of Atiku's immunity the man turned a blind eye and never opened Atiku's file again obviously because there was no longer the need to please OBJ.

I asked that question because I wanted to practically demonstrate to you that, there is no perfect or flawless leader anywhere in the world. As far as Nigeria is concerned, as long as the President continues to appoint our corruption tsar, allegation of hypocrisy and double standard would always be levelled. No-one can fight the corrupt all of the time.

You are still missing it. Integrity and flawlessness are not the same. Flawlessness is never listed as a quality of leadership, but integrity is listed among the core attributes of a leader.

You are the first human being I know that would think that someone with a high sense of duty is lacking integrity, just because he mispoke a couple of times.

Have a good evening.

2019! PMB will embarrass PDP with the margin of defeat, it is good to dream but while at it don't ever assume your opponent is a fool. How on earth for God`s sake are we rating a Govt that are yet to implement two budget cycles at least in a four years mandate. for crying out loud what kind of political analyst are we?. few weeks postponement of the election afforded Gej the opportunity to bridge the vote difference with PMB let alone 3yrs. Okupe said it and I concur, there is no Northern politician that can exceed 30% of votes in NE and NW against PMB. you like it or not SW will be worn by PMB because after him SW next. yes PDP will win in SS and SE. then NC will be the battle ground states, PDP goons may not like it but it's true. you don't snatch victory from an incumbent President with strategy alone, No! it must be a mass movement, APC keyed into a mass movement to defeat Gej, can PDP create that mass movement appeal against APC?. I doubt. make your research on how Presidents lost elections over the world, it doesn't just happen and the incumbent does not just loss his seat alone,, the mass appeal that remove them affects all other elective positions such as losing majority amongst Govs, Rep, Senate. it must be bottom top movement before PDP can succeed. if we tell ourselves the truth you are bound to agree that hate from a section of the country alone is not enough to remove an incumbent, add Saraki,Atiku and Baraje and it will still not be enough.

you know PDP have been rulling for 16 years, now people definitely needs a change, two, the expectations are very high, but unfortunately the change is not forth coming and they are disappointed.

Is like when Israel is expecting their messiah, but when the messiah finally come, he never fought any war and they were disappointed. Why, that was not the types of messiah they were expecting. So it is synonymous to what is happening now.

Majority of the mases who voted for PMB wanted the change desperately and immediately, you see uptil now no meaningful things have been achieved by these government.

So in 2019 it will be very difficult for APC to win a presidential election if a drastical step is not taking. Mind you, you never know who pdp is featuring as their presidential flag bearer

If i tell you that i campaigned for Apc because of Buhari you will not believe it.

A person who has a habit of mispeaking repeatedly definitely has no sense of duty.

Why not Peter Obi, Okonjo Iweala or Ekweremadu for President instead of VP?

LordVarys:
Ribadu, Dankwambo, Lamido, David Mark should start building their profile for the presidency now, Same for Peter Obi, Ekweremadu and Okonjo Iweala for VP.
Primaries are going to be fair and democratic.....The APC will likely field Elrufai who lacks Bubu's Northern popularity

We are considering you and Markefi from the North and comparing the two of you with others from the sw, se, ss and nsc.

Lamido for Senate
