Things are so bad in Nigeria today that whoever becomes our next President -no matter the party- will have no choice but to try (and be seen) to improve the economy and our security. The real question for the electorate is: who will do it better?
Who can break away from the old ways of corrupt patronage, and promote competence and merit? Who can unify Nigeria and create a sense of Justice, equity and inclusion? Who can handle Nigeria’s complexity?
Who can re-establish strong, effective and effective institutions that anchor all successful nations? Who can establish the across-the-board-accountability that is the bedrock of all civilized societies? And who will set the stage for our youth, 70% of Nigeria’s population, to
have a better future? These are the fundamental questions the electorate should assess the candidates on. This calls into question the capacity of the electorate ourselves. For the truth is that the electorate is the biggest part of Nigeria’s leadership problem.
Because they love politics and politicians, but don’t understand that what we really need are leaders who have come into politics, not mere politicians who are not leaders. Leadership, not politics, is what can transform. #Transformation
