IN NIGERIA, EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT: 2019 Election In Perspective

Image
As Nigeria is inching towards her next general election come February 2019, it is no news that the country is going to witness a flood of presidential candidates which is looking like the highest numbers in the fifty eight years as an independent country and in the almost twenty years of returning to the civil rule. Of recent, a lot of Nigerians have been throwing their hat into the ring of presidency signifying their intention to become the next ruler of world largest black African country. From my own calculation and counting, the number of presidential candidates are more than 50 due to the large number of political parties as released by INEC, (this was witnessed in the just concluded governorship election in Osun State where the number of contestants was the largest in the history of governorship election in Nigeria), here are some of their names and the political party platform upon which they are vying for the position: .

‘Who presidential documentary epp?’

On Christmas Day, I stumbled on an interview given by the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina. Although it was a fairly lengthy interaction with the presenters of Sunrise Daily on Channels Television that morning, two things that the presidential spokesperson said amplify the fault with the President’s communication. Confronted with a front page report quoting the National Bureau of Statistics as estimating that eight million Nigerians had become unemployed between January 2016 and September 30, 2017, Adesina suggested that Nigerians should be grateful that the administration allowed the NBS do its job. He indicated that being an agency of government, it was possible for the President to have breathed down on the NBS and stopped it from presenting those damning statistics. In effect, we must be grateful to the President for allowing the NBS such independence! I agree that Adesina is always entitled to his opinion but such a prop...
