Undisputedly, Nigeria has since independence on October 1, 1960 degenerated. Since May 29, 1999 when the present republic came into being, the country has been moving closer to anarchy than to real democracy as recognized globally.
Public utilities and social services, which are primarily the responsibilities of government, have not been sustained and new ones provided have fallen below standards. Unfortunately, corruption, non performance in governance, ritual killings, kidnappings, insecurity, and treasury looting have become the order of the day and are being perfected daily by those involved. PDP governments at the centre and at the states levels have become a thorn in the flesh of Nigerians.
Even the Movement for better future, MFBF, an NGO based in Kaduna had recently observed that the country was drifting towards anarchy because nothing is working. Any sane Nigerian would have no alternative but to agree with the assertion that the situation calls for concern irrespective of religion, ethnic or party differences.
Something must certainly be made to rescue the country from theses drift into anarchy, backwardness, mediocrity, collapse of moral, social, economic and political values which have reduced all Nigerians out of government as paupers and beggars in a richly endowed country called Nigeria.
All are in agreement with the fact that a lot of the sad developments in our society are largely attributable to failure of INEC and the ruling PDP to give Nigerians credible leadership. The bottom line is therefore CREDIBLE ELECTIONS. ONE Nigerians are allowed to vote and their vote counts, more than 90% of Nigerians in elective positions today will vacate their seats.
Most of them are there by hook and crook. Even though the PDP government has rejected the Uwais panel report but all hope is not yet lost of electing Nigerians worthy of being elected through credible elections in the country.
