Either of the following 5 media acclaimed leading presidential candidates will win.
Whosever wins, will not revolutionize Nigeria. It may sound fatalistic doom but the truth is, in a democracy, power is with the people and the people do not elect a king to lord his brilliant ideas over them but to work with their representatives at National, State Assemblies.
The real change the people need, can only be constitutionally birthed, by using democratic institutions to cement these changes.
In Nigeria, this responsibility, lies with the Assemblies.
Those asking you to take your anger to the poll; vote in a messiah, should realize, no messiah with divine mandate achieved anything without foot soldiers-disciples, apostles and followers.
Where are the disciples of these candidates beyond the crowd at rallies? Are they going into National Assembly, State House of Assembly, to make sure that this their anger is translated into a true revolutionary movement?
The most laughable of all replies I have heard is; “when we win, members of the National Assembly who won on the platforms of other parties, will decamp to the party of the president.”
The ones replying thus, apparently do not understand the role of the Opposition in a democracy or do they appreciate party discipline and voting along party lines on the floor of the Parliament.
To birth a new Nigeria, all electorates must consider who they are sending to National and State Assembly. These are the ones with real democratically recognized revolutionary powers to change Nigeria. If you allow rouges to get to National Assembly or State House of Assembly, no matter the Ali Baba, Saint, Crook or Messiah that wins Presidential Election, nothing will change.
Politics is local and we should be interested in which local boy we will send to Abuja or our State Capital. They are the real oil that turns the wheel of governance to birth dividends of democracy for you.
