The political
climate of Nigeria is fully charged as the country prepares for the March 28
Presidential election. This election appears really critical to every Nigerian
because the fate of the nation as well
as that of every Nigerian home and abroad will be greatly determined by who
gets into Aso Rock, the seat of power in the country.There is no doubt that
politicians in the country suddenly turn into philanthropists whenever an
election draws near, but something unusual is happening this time!
Barely a
week ago Mudiagha, a Nigerian woke in the morning and found his phone ringing.He’s
been a struggling university graduate with a very lean bank account trying to
keep body and soul together.His source of livelihood largely depends on the
quality of calls he receives from potential clients; thus whenever his phone
rings he grabs it speedily.In a spirit
of optimism, he reached for his phone. What he heard was the voice of a lady.
“Good
morning I’m calling from Forward Naija have you collected your PVC?”
Without much
thought Mudiagha knew the game plan: a call from a PDP agent. The PDP has had a
tenacious hold on power since 1999 and most Nigerians appear to call for a
CHANGE.
“How on earth
can you call without letting me know what Forward Naija is about?”,roared Mudiagha.
“OK Forward
Naija…..is….works together with INEC”
Mudiagha
knew this was a lie and questioned her using a cerebral tone.
“Em…Forward
Naija is in support for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan”.
Hell was let
losed after she let her cat out of her bag. Frustrated Mudiagha lambasted the
girl until she appeared completely dumb.This is a trend that politicians have
adopted.Nigerians keep asking why have these politicians recognized their worth
that they now call them after years of neglect.
