No doubt, the 2023 presidential election will be one of the most important since independence, and the reasons are not far-fetched. Anyone expecting the next president to turn Nigeria into Eldorado in less than one year needs to have his head examined. It is practically impossible. So I get vexed when I see some messianic complex of some of the candidates. They are just setting themselves up for the big fall.
Besides, most Nigerian politicians profess to be Christians and Muslims in the morning and are traditionalists and animists at night. I see some of the characters parading as defenders of the Christian faith and I laugh.The fixation and hypocrisy of the religion of the candidates are nauseating. In my opinion, it is a storm in a teacup and it’s not worth the hullabaloo. The last time I checked we have over five presidential candidates.
The biggest issue facing the country right now is insecurity. According to the data sourced and analysed by TheCable Index, the data and research arm of TheCable, one thousand, seven hundred and forty-three Nigerians were reportedly killed in the first quarter of 2022 owing to insecurity. The figure surpasses the number of civilians reportedly killed in the first month of the Russia-Ukraine war.No day passes without hearing stories of killings and kidnappings by bandits and terrorists.
Another major issue is the worsening state of the economy and the free fall of the naira. The candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, said he will move Nigeria from a consumption to a production economy. Good idea. How does he intend to achieve that? Where will he get the resources to revive ailing industries? What is the practical roadmap to achieving that?
