As the Nigerian 2023 general elections campaigns gathers momentum a factor seems to have emerged. It is the fact that the race on
who becomes the next President is no longer one between the ruling APC and the previous governing party PDP, but a distinct three horse race. That third force is the Labour Party…
Two questions arise from the above answers. These are: why are Nigerians tired and seeking a genuine alternative to the PDP and APC? Secondly, where is, or what represents that alternative? Not content with their anti-democratic practices, Nigerian governors have bullied their House of Assemblies to make laws guaranteeing that after leaving office their pension is equivalent to 90 percent of their pay and benefits while they were in office, regardless of what other political office they may hold after being governors. For that reason, the majority of them who have retired themselves into the House of Senate get double salaries, in addition to their self-awarded benefits.
Of course, they are aware that those who have managed to graduate have no prospect of securing jobs but with life abundant in alienation. The only functioning universities are mostly the private ones, including those built and owned by ex-government officials who stole from the federal or states governments.
Insecurity of lives and properties are threatening to unravel the society. Nigerians are living in daily fear of falling victims to kidnappers, armed robbers, hired assassins and deranged characters . Lives in Nigeria, like in a state of war have become very cheap. Neither the federal nor states’ governments have shown any capacity to investigate and apprehend both kidnappers and murderers. Like poverty, insecurity is also a consequence of failed and rotten politics.
