"Conscience is an open wound only truth can heal it" - Uthman Dan
Fodio 1805. I passionately pray that as 2015 draws near we will elevate
our politics and debate beyond the banal confines of ethnicity and crash
partisanship. I crave a cross ventilation of thought that shall
coalesce into a new moral benchmark for leadership and set a new
paradigm for the Actors on our socio-political amphitheatre. The jig-saw
of conjectures and debate that came on and off the Ekiti and the Osun
polls were predominantly banal. Partisanship prevailed over the
credential and the character of the candidates. Religion over the
passion to govern. And 'stomach infrastructure' over constructive short
and long term development. Sad. What must count if we sincerely want
this nation to grow is the passion to lead, the desire to serve, the
determination to govern indiscriminate of creed and clan, and the
commitment to genuine transformation. To those whose motivation and
choice of leadership devolves and revolves on the ethnic, sectional,
partisan and religious pendulum I bring this reminder, yes, it is an
incontrovertible truism that at all level and across the parties
governance within the past 15years have been below the 40% mark,
therefore we MUST learn to think out of the box and collectively demand
responsible and responsive leadership. Yes we MUST torpedo partisan
bickering and up the bar beyond the contours of banal politics to the
noble pedestal of profound issues, deep debate and patriotism, such is
the way to go. God Bless Nigeria.
CONCLUDED.
