The place of leadership in achieving unity in Nigeria is the place of personal example.
Ultimately, Tinubu’s challenge would be to improve the welfare and well-being of most of our people.
His audacious demand on Monday gave the eerie feeling that he wanted a replay of June 12, at any cost, if not directly for himself, then for his acolytes.
The assurances of the INEC about competent management of the election were always empty and lacking in credibility.
APC’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar will divvy up the Muslim vote more or less equally.
Nigerians are reluctant to accept the separation of powers and responsibility.
In terms of policy orientation, we characterize Tinubu as “market/welfarist”, Atiku as “market/capitalist”, Obi as “market/entrepreneurial” and Kwankwaso as “statist”.
If you like, shine your eyes, yank off the cobwebs of religion, ethnicity, and other stereotypes, and vote for competency and merit.
Most opinion polls suggest Peter Obi, a third-party politician now rising in media popularity, will defeat the candidates of the two main parties.
