I feel sad for Nigeria. In fact, I am ashamed of this
country. As I listened to the news and monitored the electoral process and the
response, I began to shed tears for this nation. What brand of leaders are we
having today? Even secondary schools and undergraduates do better. Claims and counter-claims
over a simple and substantially clear electoral procedure? When we were
entering the University in the mid 1980s, we pictured a country where the
leaders would ultimately power the resources and thereby make us the pride of
Africa. But what do we see today: Executive governors lacking executive and political decorum?. Even governors cannot
conduct elections among themselves. Even serving governors find it difficult to
accept obvious defeat. Before we pray for fame for this country, let us concede
this national shame.
