OpEd: 2023 Presidential Election: A Nail In Search Of A Hammer By Bayo Oluwasanmi | Sahara Reporters
Opinion
In Nigeria, snakes and other reptiles eat millions of Naira. Two bullion vans were escorted to Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s house to deliver millions of Naira to him. Tinubu admitted the money belonged to him. Recently, an inebriate clown and die-hard supporter of Tinubu came on National TV to defend Tinubu. He said Tinubu was not the owner of the money, rather the drivers of the bullion vans missed their way and went to the wrong address.
Nigerian electorates have a history of electing a nail as presidents instead of hammers. No wonder they are so wicked, brutal, blood thirsty, and despotic. As the countdown begins for the 2023 presidential election, Nigeria is in search of a hammer. A hammer who will hammer out the nails of ancient evils that have bedeviled the country. A hammer that will restore civilization and rule of law. A hammer that will treat citizens as human beings. A hammer that will be a leader and not an oppressor.
