2011, more than the Presidency

It suddenly dawned on me that all that is being said, written and discussed about next year's election has been limited to the Presidential elections and who gets to seat in Aso Rock. This myopic view of the forthcoming election which to my mind speak volume of the level of our political immaturity also reveals a massive blind spot which the political opportunists out there are seizing to continue to plunder the nation. There is a big game plan going on by ex governors to turn the senate chambers to their have in order to continue where they left off with the plundering of resources in their various state houses. Virtually all the ex governors have launched their senatorial campaigns and the unsuspecting citizens are totally unaware of this development. As we intensify the campaign against the stepping back of IBB, we should also not lose sight of these petty thieves called ex governors; the EFCC should conclude without any delay the prosecution of these guys and remove them from civilization into where they really belong. I am just sounding this alarm that these guys will leave no stone unturned to see that the status quo is maintained.

2011 elections is more than just the Presidency regardless of how important and critical the office is - the national assembly has become a great channel of wastage in recent times and it must be closely monitored too. Just sounding an alarm
