"Democracy is the power of the people,by the people and for the people"
-Abraham Lincoln
Leadership was never a reach for aging neither was it specifically for the
youth. Leadership was always a role for the transparent, capables and just personalities.
Nigeria upon its complaints on bad leadership and unaccountability style of the then military or vast dictatorship set of rule, chose to move to the path of free-will of the people which was a word called "DEMOCRACY".
The democratic rule has earned its prospective 18 years and the subjected supposed power to the people has remain questionable.
The cargo way has always been the usual "I promise to do bla, bla," in the sovereign. It either each government or regime promotes a factor and it's progressive but the remaining factors that has been needed to make a better Nigeria remains vast or forgotten.
A politician once said, "The young are not ready to rule, why should they be given power?", but the facts remains the aged or aging has failed Nigerians in every common factors to make a better Nigeria.
It is of my gladity that i write of a man who belongs to a nomenclature i respect by his due acts.
