2023: NIGERIA, NOT A POLITICAL EXPERIMENT CENTRE, NOW FOR THE BEST
There is an African proverb that says if you forget where it first rained on you, you will get drenched again and again.
Therefore as party delegates prepare to file out in the next couple of days at the party primaries to nominate who will eventually become thier party's standard bearer come 2023 general elections, it is imperative to impress upon their minds that those individuals who through their actions and inactions have raped our democracy and by extension plundered Nigeria into the deep mess that the country is in today should be shown red card(s) because they do not in anyway deserve another chance, else they sink the country further into oblivion.
By dint of luck, Nigerians have survived excruciating hardship in the last seven years, and truly speaking everyone is tired of the current situation. Assuming but not conceding, that Nigerians were jinxed before now, the permeable and percolating hunger, poverty and insecurity in the country have long opened thier eyes to the mindless misappropriation of what is their collective patrimony.
Come to think of it, Small conglomerates with 10 to even 20 staff on their payroll seek to recruit the best through a competitive recruitment process, how come the process of electing the Nigerian President who control the destinies of more than 200 million people is always casualized and in many times reduced to mere dramatic games. What an irony?
One salient fact about the 2023 general elections is that it is coming at a time when many Nigerians are calling for the entrenchment of true federalism through restructuring.Although many people have offered diverse options on what should constitute restructuring. One thing many people, however, still hold very dear to their heart is the unity of Nigeria.
Even though popular opinion supports the unity of Nigeria, the country should not be left in the hands of mediocres, while we waste energies to run sub units with excellent hands. Which one is more important? To have a better and greater Nigeria where every citizen can have opportunity to excell in their different vocations, skills and talent or to have few excellent conglomerates or companies with best managers suffering and struggling under a mediocre administration with ignorant, oppressive and rudderless macro, micro and monetary economic policies.
The time to choose is now. The Delegates hold the key in most parties. The implications is that the future of Nigeria is now in the hands of the National Delegates.Their choices will either move Nigeria forward or move it back to the deeper dungeon. The clock is ticking. Will they have the conscience , the courage , the Patriotism to do right? History will tell.
