Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: FW: Victory is at hand!

There is no rush to anything. Where elections were concluded yesterday, the results were as required by law announced on the spot and posted for everyone to see. The two major parties know the trend by now and who the presumptive winner is. Of course, it is important to wait for the electoral commission to announce the results, but I would actually think it politically prudent given past history, to get ahead of them for obvious reasons.  It is wishful thinking to anticipate at this point any result that would be significantly different from the ones already posted in the wards.

You are right that it is too soon to conclude who the winner is. We should be patient and to not allow the euphoria of anticipated victory could our sense of Reason. 
Having said that OA, it appears water is removing sand under the feet of your preferred candidate. Isn't it? 

Have a pleasant Sunday evening.

Is it not too soon to project victory in the elections. The Western states of Nigeria traditionally announce election results first. If anything was learned from the Mitt Romney experience, it is that those candidates who prepare acceptance speeches are well advised to prepare concession speeches too. Things are not always what they seem to be.

One worries that a rush to project the final results of the elections may dispose some partisans to reject the final and accurate results of the elections. They may resort to violence should they find the results  disappointing.  

Haste should be made prudently.

The failure of Obasanjo’s second coming began when he found he had to renege on his promise to allow his vice president oversee federal contracts. Also, he soon found that to get anything done, he had to bribe the congress. So, within weeks of his inauguration, money was already changing hands. There was no recovering from that. 

 

1.            Buhari must realize that when we talk about corruption in Nigeria, he should look no further from the congress!

2.            There should be a legislation that mandates diversity, equal opportunity, and transparency in the award of Federal contracts.

3.            We must insist that all governments from 1970 should be probed. His vice president is an eminent law professor and it would make no sense appointing him without using his expertise. He sacked over 50 judges from the bench as Attorney General of Lagos State. Professor Osinbajo should lead this charge!

4.            We must push for an immediate audit of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation. 

 

The margin is insurmountable! It is important to turn the corner from this moment forward!
