Summary:
During AC (Action Congress) rally in Osogbo, Osun State, Lagos State governor Bola
Ahmed Tinubu while protesting over his accusation of being amongst the EFCC's list of corrupt
politicans in Nigeria has according to Faturoti's report replied that; "if all the 36 governors in the
country were corrupt, then the president was the "master thief".
Governor Tinubu also added that PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) members are scared of their
faith after their tenure and that's their reason for making wrong accusations. Lots of comments
on PDP's accusations were also made by other AD party members.
My View:
It is sad to know that those that are supposed to govern the country are engaging themselves in
an unnecessary dispute over which party rules during the forth coming election. As a Nigerian,
the question now is; What happens next after the election? Will the ruling party revenge on the
other parties? Will all the parties merge and support each other? What will be the focus of the
ruling party? These questions are very important because it is obvious that no party is really
concerned about what their political agenda and what their focus will be if they win.
Positive/Negative Impact:
If the disputes between the political parties are not resolved soon, there might be a problem of
lack of concerntration in future. The future president might spend his few months in power
revenging on the others instead of this primary focus, which should be moving Nigeria forward.
Solution:
A committee should be formed that will involve atleast 10 of each party members towards how
to resolve the current political crisis in Nigeria.
