NIGÉRIA :: Nigerian voters should seriously search their conscience as they head to the polls on March 28
The forthcoming presidential election in Nigeria is crucial for the future of the country and each true Nigerian patriot should wonder what course to follow on that day. Each voter must find the right answer to the question “Does the country have a better future with the current government or not?”
Nigeria needs a leader who’s ready to bring Nigerians together, to discipline and unify its armies and show courage and great leadership in the fight against the terrorist group called Boko Haram, whose militants claim to be Muslims, but are not.
Nigerian people must vote for a courageous, visionary leader who’ll reduce noticeably the plague of corruption, create jobs opportunities for young people and bring stability, peace and prosperity to the country.
Nigerian people need and deserve a government guaranteeing their safety and protection. And at my knowledge, the government of Jonathan Goodluck isn’t the dreamed one. It has failed tremendously and failed the people.
His lack of courage and leadership have given strength and ground to some forces of darkness which are slaughtering people and putting many lives in jeopardy in countries like Niger, Cameroon and Chad.
Whether one is Christian, Muslim or Animist, why should he or she indeed vote for a man under whose eyes and on whose watch children and parents have been bombed or shot dead in schools, churches, mosques and markets place without any firm reaction from him?
Why should one vote for such a man? Why should one vote for a man under whose eyes hundreds of female students have been kidnapped and taken away and nothing till now has been done to bring them back?
In a country led by a good, responsible government, over 200 kidnapped girls would not disappear without leaving any mark like drops of water on the Sahara desert.
Let us be honest. True Nigerian patriots should not cast their vote for a man who has folded the harms as violence and bloodshed unceasingly hugged and rocked their country.
No reasonable, objective, sensitive and compassionate mind should dare through his or her vote keep Jonathan Goodluck in office. Those who have chosen to vote for him and will do so, they solely lack good vision and love for their country.
The People’s Democratic Party’s militants must put the interests of Nigeria upon those of their party led by a selfish President with very poor leadership, and vote massively against him. He, Jonathan Goodluck, must pay for his dithering strategy and failure to protect and defend vulnerable populations in need.
Nigeria is facing so many challenges, and the current President somehow is to be held accountable. With the upcoming presidential polls, the situation might deteriorate if there were no fairness and transparency on March 28.
In his dogged, greatly thirsty pursuit to cling to the power, Jonathan Goodluck might rig the future election, then Nigeria that is already devastated by Boko Haram might sink into more violence with the possibility of the country’s partition. Let us wish there’d be enough wise hands to save and put Nigeria on a new, right path.
