Most, if<br \/>\nmany, of the leading global lights in success have visited and counseled<br \/>\nus how chase out the darkness of wicked rulers and followers with the<br \/>\nlight of, wisdom of not repeating the same errors and expecting right,<br \/>\nsuccess result, of not sowing wisdom and expecting to reap prosperity of<br \/>\nfools.<\/p>\n<p>Over three years ago, a group thought to be democrats thirsting for good<br \/>\ngovernance practice but turned out to be renegade selfish politicians,<br \/>\nbetter called politricians, had exit the octopus People Democratic Party,<br \/>\nPDP, to form the new PDP. They thereafter crossed to the All Progressives<br \/>\nCongress, APC, destabilized it and thereafter carved out a reformed,<br \/>\ndeformed or rebel rAPC.<\/p>\n<p>After boxing selves into a corner the rebels led by Olusola Saraki are<br \/>\nplotting a return to the PDP, but Saraki, the rebel leader, unsure of<br \/>\nachieving his solo ambition of contesting for a presidential ticket in the<br \/>\nPDP is reportedly begging APC to remain. What manner of unprincipled human<br \/>\nbeings, calling themselves leaders, do we have, possessing the nomadic<br \/>\nwandering spirit of Sokugo or political herdsmen always in search of green<br \/>\npasture to feed inordinate ego cow, and still having dumb followers, which<br \/>\nis why good governance remains elusive in Nigeria?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s examine why apc failed to tackle its unprepared promises which<br \/>\nturned out to be propaganda of an unprepared party, greedily hustling to<br \/>\ngrab, or capture power. Only dummy Nigerians, sadly largely many, who saw<br \/>\nanother mob chorus of new change would be fooled again.<\/p>\n<p>With scatter brain alliances and so-called mergers, I hope Nigerians are<br \/>\naware that these political renegades have not articulated any economic,<br \/>\njob-creation policies that will curb crime rate, engage idle artisans to<br \/>\nfeed family and kill criminality in society.<\/p>\n<p>Niger state governor Abubakar Bello said recently he won 2015 election<br \/>\nwithout promising anything, no manifesto and mumu followers voted empty<br \/>\nmind to power. How do you challenge such unprincipled governor for failed<br \/>\ngovernance on what parameters?<\/p>\n<p>Even PMB and APC party that made promises and failed in all still plot a<br \/>\nreturn and dumb electorate still root for Sai Baba. By returning failed<br \/>\nrulers to rule why do we still turn round to complain over our choice of<br \/>\ndeath instead of life and bother the Almighty on our foolish choice?<\/p>\n<p>The APC has not told us how they would redress the error of scoring F9<br \/>\nparallel\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1891537125\"><span class=\"aQJ\">in three years<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and they still want to return. Worse still is APC<br \/>\nis copying the error of PDP suicide of automatic ticket for failed former<br \/>\nPresident Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to his earlier promise more than one year ago that there would<br \/>\nnot be automatic ticket for any position, Ahmed Tinubu has made a u turn<br \/>\nto endorse auto ticket for PMB, a similar move that disintegrated the PDP<br \/>\nand now the APC.<\/p>\n<p>Any kangaroo move to return governors, lawmakers and PMB unopposed signals<br \/>\nthe end of APC. We cannot continue to repeat same failure errors and yet<br \/>\nexpect success result. Many prefer APC but its suicide of returning failed<br \/>\npeople to contest 2019 election would stretch its foolishness for only<br \/>\nfools to buy. If PMB is sure of his so-called credibility and performance<br \/>\nhe should not be scared of open contest within the APC to get the shirt to<br \/>\nrun again.<\/p>\n<p>For now, many minds are open to accept a candidate that emerges from any<br \/>\nmajor contending parties if there is open fair contestation for the flag<br \/>\nbearer to emerge, not behind the door consensus. After all, the failure of<br \/>\nAPC has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that parties and politicians<br \/>\nare prima facie unreliable until they prove otherwise, just two sides of a<br \/>\ncoin.<\/p>\n<p>Asuelimen writes via\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:soniasuelimen@yahoo.com\" data-mt-detrack-inspected=\"true\">soniasuelimen@yahoo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Soni Ehi Asuelimen The polity of Nigeria has become a global phenomenon in tragic comedic of wicked rulers and now wicked evil followers who sometimes frighten the righteous by&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61970,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
