It is very
disturbing to read about the incessant
impeachment incidents that are
being staged and carried out by various state legislators against their
Governors. Sure, there is nothing wrong with that, when and if done in
the legal way. Nigeria should aim at being a leader in the continent of
Africa, where the rule of law prevails and the federal government should not
hesitate to support such decisions, when properly done.
What is going on now in Oyo, Anambra and other states is a typical
example
where the Federal government should step in and ensure stability in the
states concerned.
Declaring a state of emergency may not be the right thing to do, rather, using
the legal institutions and enforcement
of their decision is what the federal
government should do at this time.
Nigeria has come a long way and has paid
enough prize by being set back by
politicians fermenting
trouble.
If only
Nigerian politicians could emulate
politicians in some developing
countries
like India and Pakistan, we could engage our energy in thinking of better
ways to utilize our God given resources like the crude oil and manpower. We sure
do need leaders at the state and federal levels, who have the
vision to
bring us the promise land and not those who continue bringing us back to
the
dark ages.
