The Nation Newspaper Tinubu, Atiku, Obi: What next after judgement?
and his rivals in the last presidential election, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
Power has not landed on the palm of President Tinubu on a platter of gold. He struggled for political control and succeeded where some people had failed. But, the acquisition of power is only meaningful if it is used to cater for the welfare and happiness of the greater number of citizens. It is a self-imposed burden. Many APC stalwarts pride themselves as “progressives” and “welfarists.” Should they not make a difference to justify their public perception?
The historic poll has polarised the country. Nigeria became more divided along ethnic and religious lines. There is need for national healing. The president, conscious of the imperative of national unity, said:”We are members of the same family, living in the same house, but in different rooms. We need a change of mindset for the sake of our country, our children and grandchildren.”
One of the areas requiring their contributions is electoral reform. If the sanctity of the ballot box is to be guaranteed, doubts and reservations about some mistakes of the umpire, which are usually blown out of proportion, should be resolved. Nigerians are very emotional about election and they can only respond to the electoral process if there is substantial assurance that their vote will count.
