‘L’Etat c’est moi’ is an expression from Louis XIV, the sun king; that is, I am the State. As a king he needed not to live naturally to sustain that kind of life style in which he sees himself as the sun that shines or dims on any of his subjects or the space he rules or intends to occupy and rule.
Living, naturally, is never easy… for both predators and preys…and confessingNigeria was like that with successive military rules from chaotic General Aguiyi Ironsi, through milder General Yakubu Gowon to harsher other Generals – Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida – and the harshest of all General Sani Abacha, and his interim General Abdusalam Abubakar.
Still, according to him, ‘2023 would, indeed, be a time when we would work to solidify on delivering key strategic priorities’.
To really aim at being one of them, Nigeria cannot afford electing leaders who do not connect effectively in their brain process; that is leaders whose neuronal disposition is questionable. Check out the leaders who have led these five countries and know that strength of character and willingness to die for those countries and never expressing despondency in the face of challenges were the constant variables in the disposition of the leaders.
The same goes for USA where both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party – GOP, Grand Old Party – had been in the saddle. Quite clearly two parties that make sure right leaders are screened to lead rightly. Even China and Russia that thrive on One-Party system had made great personalities the focus of their governance.
