BUHARI’S FLAW AND JONATHAN’S LEADERSHIP :who will you trust with your vote again.

A country is like an industry. It must be managed properly by people who have brain and great ideas upstairs. – Goodluck Jonathan, January 8, 2015.
After weeks of intense political campaigns, Nigerians are set to exercise their right to vote this in their 5th presidential election since the return to democratic system of government in 1999.

This is perhaps one of the most important elections in Nigeria’s history. Nigeria’s political landscape has witnessed immense changes since the last general elections, The rise of a strong opposition party has put the ruling party’s 16 years dominance under serious threat.

The 2015 presidential election, as The Economist described it,  was a choice between a failed president and a repentant dictator. Nigerians must decide between giving the unconvincing incumbent as at then, Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, a chance to redeem himself and correct his mistakes, and giving former military dictator, General Muhammadu Buhari, an opportunity to make good of his promises to return Nigeria to glory days. It is a choice between continuity and change, as both candidates have defined their campaigns.  As we all know what follow suit.

But five years down the lane and a comparison is made, in all truthfulness, nothing to be glad or super excited about, as it seems everything getting worse and the ruling party have forgotten all their sweet mouthed promises, otherwise bent on making the situation worse than ever, but trust politicians, it was easy to apportion all blames to the 16yr rule of the opposition party, culminated with some global happenings affecting Nigerian crude and the subsequent outbreak of the covid-19, they are never short of excuses.

It’s a moral inquiry.
