Time for Niger Delta Manifesto

We congratulate the Action Congress and its presidential campaign for advertising outlines of their goodies for the Niger Delta Region. It looks and sounds good. The devil, as they say, is in the details!

Other parties should please do same, and these should cover both their national, state and local initiatives. Let's have a clear private sector opportunities window tied to them. Parties should be more specific, timelined and budget-based. This way, quality analysis can take place.

As in all things political, it is easy to build castles in the air by ignoring previous initiatives. This time, they should show what was and why it failed. Then tell us what will work and how.

We wait.
