By Evaristus Bassey
Within the first Guide of Kings, an occasion is recounted to painting the knowledge of King Solomon. Two prostitutes, dwelling in the identical house, gave delivery to a male youngster every, two days aside. It occurred that one of many prostitutes suffocated her youngster in her sleep, so she wakened and took the opposite girl’s youngster whereas the lady was asleep. The opposite girl woke as much as a useless youngster as she tried to feed it. On trying extra carefully on the youngster, she realized it wasn’t hers. She then raised alarm and reported the matter to the king. On the royal courtroom, each girls laid claims to the dwelling youngster, none giving in to the opposite, till King Solomon ordered for a sword in order that the child could be divided into two, for every girl to go residence with one half. Whereas one of many girls begged the king to not kill the kid however ought to give the kid to the opposite girl, the one who was laying false declare insisted the kid be dismembered. This led King Solomon to appreciate that the lady who wished the kid to dwell was the true mom and instructed that the kid be handed over to her.
In making use of the above biblical story to the political scenario in Nigeria, the most important presidential candidates of the north, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar and His Excellency Rabiu Kwankwaso may be likened to the lady who smothered her youngster in her sleep and was then laying declare to the opposite girl’s youngster. The north has had its flip on the presidency with Buhari’s eight years and but is laying declare to the south’s flip via the most important contenders simply because they consider they will pull it via. Sadly, we don’t actually have a King Solomon to adjudicate.
There are various individuals who consider that the 2019 presidential elections had been gained by Atiku Abubakar however that he was prevailed upon by northern elders to gentle pedal on the matter of claiming his mandate with a view to being given the seat on a platter via the 2023 elections. Atiku needed to battle tooth and nail due to this fact to clinch the PDP nomination despite the fact that conventionally, for the reason that north via Buhari was going to finish an unbroken 8-year tenure, the social gathering ought to have picked somebody from the south. There are various speculations regarding the position Governor Wike inadvertently performed in the direction of the emergence of Atiku. Some say Atiku suggested that the ticket be zoned to the Southeast in any other case it must be truthful recreation for anybody to contest however that Wike most well-liked that it’s thrown open, believing that with the alliances he had constructed and along with his struggle chest, he would clinch the nomination simply. If Atiku actually did say so, he was most likely giving an not possible situation in order that the gates could be thrown open. From what we heard, Wike was fairly prepared. For whereas Atiku is alleged to have given ten thousand {dollars} per delegate, Wike allegedly gave fifteen thousand {dollars} to every delegate. Weren’t for the last-minute withdrawal of Gov. Tambuwal from the race, Wike would have clinched the PDP ticket.
There are various who would have frowned on the emergence of Wike who’s from the South-South, after solely eight years of Goodluck Jonathan’s descent from the seat of energy. Some have used that to justify the emergence of Atiku Abubakar, since Wike used his struggle chest and clout to close out different aspirants from the South particularly the Southeast. It was this identical line of argument that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu utilized in supporting a northerner to emerge as flag-bearer for the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the reason that ticket wasn’t particularly zoned to the Southeast. Within the case of APC, the Southeast zone hadn’t completed a lot for the social gathering to win in 2015; the area that was liable for the emergence of Buhari as president in 2015 and largely in 2019 was the South-West. It could have taken a lot political gratuity which isn’t attribute of Nigerian politicians, to zone the APC ticket to the Southeast. So long as it was the APC, the South-West seemed set to clinch the ticket if it was zoned to the South. Even then, the cabal in APC projected Ahmed Lawan, a northerner as consensus candidate! It took Senator Tinubu’s political sagacity to make the northern governors led by Gov. El-Rufai, pull their weight behind a southern candidate, and after they did this, they ignored the sensibilities of most Nigerians by sidestepping Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the candidate that will have gained them the elections with out a lot controversy. We’ve got Farooq Kperoggi to thank for his marketing campaign towards Osinbajo, calling him a spiritual bigot and anti-muslim. There are speculations that northern governors selected Tinubu to pave approach for Atiku Abubakar to win simply, in order that energy could possibly be retained within the north. Now Tinubu, along with his Mu-Mu ticke, his well being and age and different baggage, has develop into a tough promote to a cross part of Nigerians due to the emergence of His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi.
The Peoples Democratic Celebration(PDP) alternatively had no motive to not zone the ticket to the Southeast. The Southeast has been a serious heart of help to the social gathering proper from inception, and being that President Obasanjo from the Southwest had dominated, and President Goodluck Jonathan from the South-South had had a shot on the presidency, affordable human beings ought to have restricted their selection of candidate to the Southeast. However belief Nigerian politicians to be grasping and unreasonable. Atiku manifested this greed by insisting to contest, and bringing every kind of lame arguments to justify himself. There are various who speculate that Atiku’s declaration as president is assured, as INEC is alleged to be a part of the play ebook, however that is left to be seen.
Within the above biblical story, the one sitting rather than King Solomon to present the ruling must be abnormal Nigerian residents. However sadly, the citizenry is split and has a shortage of King Solomon’s knowledge. I don’t blame northerners, particularly abnormal Muslims for eager to vote somebody of their faith. It’s their default orientation. The selection of Tinubu would have been straightforward for them however for the truth that there are doubts now that he’s Muslim since on three completely different events, he couldn’t recite a prayer which is recited on a regular basis by practising Muslims. Now as an alternative of turning their help to Peter Obi, they might moderately flip it in the direction of both Atiku or Kwankwaso? My disappointment is with folks within the south who’re sticking to social gathering loyalty to vote both Atiku or Kwankwaso when there’s a very credible different in Peter Obi of the Labour Celebration. These within the north jettison social gathering affiliation when it doesn’t go well with them, however these within the south follow social gathering affiliation even when it’s towards regional and nationwide pursuits. The election of Atiku or Kwankwaso after eight years of President Buhari is not going to be within the nationwide curiosity. Buhari polarized Nigerians a lot and the panacea isn’t one other northerner at this crucial interval, even when he’s Christian. However, the election of Peter Gregory Obi of the Labour Celebration who occurs to be from the Southeast, will heal many wounds and most significantly instill patriotism and hope into our teeming youths who’re 2023 elections as a serious turning level for our nation Nigeria. Nigeria must discover a solution to make rotational presidency constitutional if we wish to stay really as one nation except some folks simply get pleasure from taunting and enslaving others.
