Governors as Lions of Nigerian Democracy
.jpeg)
In 1999, Abdulsalam Abubakar, paved
the way for Obj to emerge as President. Today, Governors decide who becomes President.You may wonder if Governors made PMB, President. Discount their contribution and pick the pieces.
Governors egged Atiku to move against Obj in 2003.
Today, they are at it again.
The interesting thing is that Godfathers pick them and later they become kingmakers.
That indeed is the challenge before BAT.
He too became powerful from serving two terms as a Governor.
Recall how they made Obj pick one of their own as a successor.
From them Obj, picked Yar 'Adua. From them, Obj picked GEJ.
We are now at the Mercy of the Governors. How did we get here?

I really enjoy this analysis.
ReplyDeleteBut will PMB allow the governors to dictate for him? I see a stronger cabal in this second term of PMB though I enjoyed the Saraki led Senate in the first term of PMB.
It is here in Nigeria that personal interest override State or National interest. The main reason for abandoned projects.
Exactly
