The purpose of democracy is enriched by mandate renewal or loss, based on fulfilled or failed electoral promises. Indeed, it should be assured that good or bad governance determine the fate of leaders and their platforms. Nigeria becomes the latest test-bed of this reality check from 2007. And the task starts now.
A titanic political battle is afoot. It is time to deconstruct the governance goings-on, as well as the prospects of the respective gladiators who bestrode our political/governance domain in the last seven years. More importantly, however, is the share due the electorate in what Nigerians have come to call "democracy dividends". What did we get or not get from our joint investment in Project NIGERIA? Who performed, who profaned? Where next, NIGERIA?
Based on the foregoing, we should be having great conversations on this site in the months and years ahead. Those who seek our votes better stay tuned. We who have the votes better vote right. Let's interrogate the issues and the values, using a manifesto approach - from the next elections. 2007.
