Changes have come. Not earth-shaking, maybe. Significant be the outcome in the old western region - i.e. the southwest, Edo and Delta states. After the polls, the PDP lost grounds to ACN and Labour Party here. APGA, ANPP and CPC have not done so badly considering the overarching reach of the ruling party and other extenuating factors.
There were salutary changes within the PDP too: many politicians lost their primaries. The over-hyped power of incumbency was to no avail. Cold sweat.
Kudos to President Goodluck Jonathan for keeping his word. Kudos to INEC for being to to its mandate, its duty. Thanks to the Youth Corpers for their patriotic service to the nation.
Our most gains were in the parliaments: a huge turnover, especially at the National Assembly. The parties and the masses commended and chastised with the vote. Changes.
Can we expect a new era? Is this the new era of our yearning?
