It is that season again – “I am under so much pressure to declare”, “my constituencies are telling me to declare and save the state”, “my driver has given me his savings to support my campaign”, etc. We read them. But this one is really getting nasty.
One pastor in Lagos prophesied that a tribe was “cursed” by a man [a man indeed], and because of that, that tribe will never lead Nigeria. Do not blame him: he missed the history class as he would have known that the tribe actually produced the next president of the nation!
And one who relocated his family to the government house in Imo has been called by “god” to rescue Nigeria after he transformed Owerri into a “metropolis”. That is clearly a malaria dream. I have an office in Okigwe Rd in Owerri and for 3 years, the national grid has remained our 2nd backup! Not sure which Owerri he is talking about.

People, it is everyone’s right. They must be commended – at least they are out there to serve. But I have a real concern: the journalists and media have lost it before the game begins. They have focused on running biographies instead of challenging these men on their plans for the future. Nigeria cannot afford to get it wrong at local, state and federal levels in 2023. Can the media save us?
