Nigeria is the world’s fifth largest federation after India, the United States, Brazil and Russia. Almost 60 years after independence, Nigeria’s political leadership has rather been incapable or unwilling to make the necessary effort to respond to the challenges encapsulated in her peculiar history. This history actually positions the Muhammadu Buhari presidency at a crucial crossroads from which Nigeria and Africa must be rescued and reinvented.
Many APC members then were already losing faith in the party. That might have been understandable; but history shows that mere loss of faith, a pathway to surrender, is taking the easy course. The path of courage was to interrogate the party leadership’s vision and related issues that encumbered the party, using reasoned, temperate logic, courage and candour. Next was to offer alternative vision and strategies to resolve extant dilemma and clear the fog.
To a large extent, direct primary election was a huge success apart from states where the governors were hell-bent on producing their successors against the wishes of party members in their states. Oshiomhole changed the narrative such that the common party members and not the governors or leaders are the supreme commanders.
To the inimitable public orator, members of the APC must submit to orderly, disciplined conduct and use prescribed channels to seek redress of any grievances. He unambiguously signaled a total break from the old way of doing things to help reposition the ruling party and align it with 21st Century best practices.
Tracking back, on Saturday, February 23, Nigerians stood at a uniquely crucial moment in their history, a time they must choose their future. Given that all generations face complex, interconnected challenges, Nigerians had a historic opportunity to support the change that has already gained root, in the electoral choice they made on that day. February 23 was indeed a moment in time when something big, something transformative – already happening – could continue.
