PMB as a tragedy!


 


How I feel at times! PMB in his Ramadan message describes 2023 Elections as his proudest achievement. Can you beat that? How low can we sink as a nation?

People are free to set benchmarks for themselves. Many are those who see the near 8 years of PMB in the saddle as

locust years. If he sees the much vilified  2023 Elections as an achievement, so be it.

My worry is that just like in the case of the Elections where he interfered by showing the world who he voted for, in this case, how does the judiciary react to this exaggeration?

Recall, that because of the weakness of our institutions, INEC would not want PMB to waste his vote. Hence, I lauded Ararume for taking PMB to court and challenging his removal from a Public Limited Liability Company, arbitrarily.

Now that PMB has declared the elections as a legacy would the courts be bold enough to say otherwise?

I wonder what Professor Wole Soyinka would make of this?

    INEC and the Judiciary are weak and most times at the mercy of the executive.

What happens when the EFCC need to arrest the Army Chief? Whose help would they enlist? In a country where a traditional ruler surrenders to the police and the police hand him over to the army. Many people have been calling for military intervention but History teaches that humans do not learn from History, hence History keeps repeating itself. After about twenty five years of civilian rule without much to show for it, amnesia has set in and many are calling for military rule. Hmmmm. I wish such people luck but they should remember IBB and Abacha. The damage done by the duo still hurts us, but people feel the cure for a problem is a change of approach. Every system comes with it's challenges. It is like a person who feels the cure for a mechanical problem is a change of machine. Wh
