Without mincing words, Buhari-led government has disappointed Nigerian masses and like never before, we have achieved an overwhelming statistics, indicating his monumental failure. His inefficiencies and incompetencies have reduced the Office of the President so much that every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to be the next President because they believe they can run this government better than him. Interestingly, the situation has equally helped to unveil several bright minds with impressive CVs.
If not for PMB inactions and weakness, we wouldn't have acknowledged Kingsley Moghalu, the Presidential aspirant of Young Peoples Party? A Professor of International Business and Public Policy at Tufts University, President of the Governance and Economic Transformation, former United Nations official and former CBN deputy governor. What amazes me the most about Moghalu is his sound and revolutionary ideas.
What about Fela Durotoye? An OAU, Harvard and Yale trained leadership expert, business strategist and motivational speaker. This excellent communicator always has a way with words. Someone once said 'you can't be in any of his sessions and not take down a few notes.'
Earlier this year, at NuStream Events Centre in Ibadan, during one of Durotoye's campaign tours, someone in the crowd, moved by his speech donated the sum of One Million Naira to support his campaign!
Omoyele Sowore, is the founder and publisher of Sahara Reporters. He holds Degrees from the University of Lagos and Columbia University, Lecturer at the City University of New York. This renowned writer, public speaker and human rights activist has the advantage of owning a known media brand with extensive reach which he can leverage on for publicity and propaganda.
We equally have Atuejide Eunice, a 39 years old founder of National Interest Party. Holds Law Degrees from BPP University, London and Msc in Business Administration from University of Siegen, Germany. She owns EB Consults Limited, a consultancy company operating out of the UK and Nigeria.
Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies is also interested in the Office of the President. This 55years old Professor of Language and Communication Arts at the RSUE hold Degrees from the Universities of Ilorin, Port Harcourt and Northwestern University. She founded the Agape Bible Church.
Donald Ike Igwegbu, Jaye Gaskia, Thomas Wilson, Ibrahim Abubakar Lajada, Emiola Ojajuni, Miss Godstime Iroabuchi Sidney, Chris Emejuru and many other distinguished Nigerians have so far indicated interest in the contest.
Honestly, I admire the courage and efforts of these young and great Nigerians. However, it's doubtful if any of them can win an election in a complex society like Nigeria but collectively, they have made a statement. We now have a political reawakening atmosphere. They have succeeded in introducing the standard to the masses. They have helped to sensitize, re-introduce and re-define what genuine governance entails. I can assure you that we will get there, may be not 2019.
Part of why it may not be 2019 is the problem of building sustainable structures in all the 36 states and their late entry into the business. They ought to have been working across all regions for at least 2 years. Nobody wins a presidential election 6 months to the race without being in the system for so long.
Still, I give kudos to them and more importantly to PMB whose actions and inactions paved way for these guys to be known.
