President Obasanjo and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) made the right decision today by accepting defeat on the Third Term Agenda. The president has ordered his members to proceed with campaigns towards the 2007 Elections. Long overdue, but better late than never.
We've stated here before, as now, that 2007 is REAL. And it will determine a million things in our great country. Note it. Huge surprises are afoot. Weeks away.
With the new-found freedom extracted from the jaws of the still-born Tenure Elongation crusade, now declaimed, denounced or disowned by the president, Nigerians will certainly be reluctant to over-invest political dominance in one party in the immediate future. Unless it is a grand coalition to, for example, punish the ruling party for this unwarranted fiasco. Thus, let all who feel confident of serving this country set forth on the campaign train. Niche players should be emboldened. Bright prospects.
Prediction: Real multi-party democracy is on its way in Nigeria. No question.
