The June 12, 1993 presidential election still serves as a pointer, even now, to the kind of leaders Nigerians desire across board. It does not matter to our people if the president comes from the far north or deep south, let the person just be a true conscientious leader.
The baton is strong; has strengths beyond her knowledge
But will it ever know; as it slips in wrong hands
All of these postulations seem to make no sense to the indigenes that are massacred in the most gruesome manner, their position is that the enemy is within and with the feeling of disappointment and abandonment; they sometimes carry out reprisal attacks.

Since the presidency is the most powerful organ of the Nigerian state, this piece is a voyage of discovery for those who don’t know how strategic it is in the scheme of things.
We cannot trust the present, unfeeling to our yearning, government. In the next electoral dispensation, a more credibility of governance will present itself, no doubt in my mind. Nigeria is too precious to be toyed with.
I was young but now I’m old and changing with me is the land upon which I still stand. My eyes have seen plenty and my mind has contemplated a lot. My ears have heard echoes and sounds my mouth cannot say and my hands have touched reality yet a mystery looms as to the land of my nativity.
At this time as we move towards the 2019 general elections, at least twenty two presidential aspirants have indicated their interest in wrestling power from the incumbent president, Muhamadu Buhari.
Political polling generally follows the sophistication of electoral systems and communication infrastructure of a country. Nigeria as an independent country is only 58 years old and our democracy is even much younger having been truncated for the larger part of those years.
It is a clear fact that no leader or president who has compassion for the people can be comfortable with the level of carnage, bloodletting and corruption being witnessed in our country presently.
