Naijaman: LEAP OF FAITH

Wednesday, February 11, 2015


To my mind, it is simple.

Should Jonathan win, and continue to render us all unsafe by his cluelessness, no one can say they were not warned.

Should Buhari win, and fail to deliver on his promises, no one can say we have not tried. Plus the added bonus that we will vote him out just as we did his predecessor.

Imagine a Nigeria where public/political office holders worked hard at good governance because they knew that was the sole way to acquire political capital.

For, by voting Jonathan out in 2015, a precedent will have been set, a point made: one that assures the political class that incumbency is not an automatic pass to reelection, and that the misdeeds of governance will come back to haunt the perpetrators at the polls, however long those polls take in coming.

And then, our democracy will go from nascent to young and budding.

God bless Nigeria.
