by the then military government, who, after series of failed attempts to enthrone democracy rather introduced an alien system of government known in political parlance as diarchy -khaki and agbada in power. The undercurrents of this broken promise by the military junta, was, ostensibly, aimed at perpetuating their dictatorial presence in governance.
At the Executive arm government, the power play between the President and his Vice remains to be seen as a test case. For the ordinary onlookers, it is one friction too many. It is needless recalling the chain of events that culminated to this conclusion that things are no longer at ease with President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
For these fresh politicians who have tested power, it would be difficult for them to relinquish it irrespective of the cost. Hence, today, electoral victory has become a do or die affair as exemplified in the just concluded Kogi and Bayelsa states election. Never in the history of Nigeria had politicians engaged the services of voodoo angels to win elections.
Without attempting to ruffle the dusty pages of history, Nigerians who were privileged to witness the botched Third Republic would attest to this claim. Though not near perfection, there was a semblance of true democracy in practice, as the attitudes, mannerism, and deliberations emanating from both hallowed Chambers then, put Nigerians on a better footing than what we have today.
