Our only Noble laureate- Prof Wole Soyinka has said recently in
Enugu that
“Darfur is not far from Nigeria’’
as seen from the present political Leadership in Nigeria.
.
Prof Soyinka advised Nigerians to be distrustful of these politicians championing the so-called third term agenda, just like they did in time past to the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha
He dared the nation’s leaders to travel “the length and breadth of the country in a Molue bus” to see for themselves the extent to which their activities have impoverished the nation.
“The best kind of change is the one that comes from the heart. But as we can see, some people are unchangeable, and if such people refuse to accept that they are in government to serve, then the people should mobilise and throw them out,” he opined.
Our elections in the past has always been rigged by those politicians, so much that we the masses now know our votes doesnt matters. I dont see where our voice matters in this scenarios. It does seem to me that, there is nothing anyone can do to stop this politicians, either in election or in governance. But OBJ seems to be better amongst their lots. If the foregoing is what is obtained from this politicians, I dont see the reason why OBJ should not continue, except of course the likes of Wole Soyinka, Gani Fawehinmi, Nasir Elrufai whom we all know can rule this country successfully are guranteed to win the election. If not, let Baba continue, He is fair than most of those politicians. If you cant beat them, join them in their game.
