USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: [OmoOdua] Re: NigerianID | BAKARE ON BUHARI

 

Wakilawal:

 

You operate under the usual paradigm of an incumbent PDP that rigs itself back into power as a guarantee of its winning again.   It cares not whether people properly evalutes its platforms or its performance; it merely uses the instrument of power to retain power, and hopes that the citizenry will ultimately acquiesce with the rigging under the notion that the disorganized aternative parties are no better an the PDP, and protest on their behalf is not worth dying for.

 

But I can guarantee you that if the alternative parties and candidates truly organize themselves around free and fair elections, and work assiduously towards that beginning with credible registration, then 2011 could be ANY BODY'S GAME - including of course the PDP- and we might see better governance in the country, including from the PDP itself.

 

There you have it.

Pastor Bakare did not seem to have learnt any lessons from his earlier "Save Jonathan" campaign. Instead of him (Bakare) and his supporters establishing their own agenda and making it an issue, he/they rally behind someone else in the hope that such a person will carry out their particular agenda. That, to me, is  political childishness.Leye Ige

Everything I read so far on this forum about Nigeria election and self-anointed candidate is political childishness. Nobody thinks about how to get from points A to B and C. It is all rambling about who their candidates are and how much they know their strength.

As of now, no party in Nigeria, not even a consolidated opposition party, is enough to wrench out power from the PDP. It is only when Buhari or Ribadu wins the election he can rule Nigeria. Otherwise, we have to think how to engage with PDP from inside out to come with changes desired for the country.

It is too late to talk about alternative. These opposition parties had enough time to organize prudently against PDP, but they failed to do so. That is even the reason to know that they are all jokers!
