Yesterday, I shook hands with people more than one hundred and five; are you
surprised l counted?, well, I made up my mind to do that. That is always the
case when it's election periods. That guy who had been having grudges with you
suddenly decides to suspend it till after elections. It's also the time when
chaos and misunderstanding look somewhat inevitable in our country, Nigeria,
but it is possible to avoid if Nigerians are not completely unreasonable. At
this crucial period we have the general, SUG, NADESSTU, LAWSAN, NUESA elections
all coming up in a sequence and the burden is on us to select a leader who will
represent us well. On campus, this is the period when the candidates suddenly
becomes everyone's friend, Also it's time when he shake hands with the same
person more than fifty times a day!, it even gets to the extent when
politicians who have not been in church since they were admitted suddenly turn
"multi-fellowship" members. Anyways, the people know who their heart
belongs to. Not everyone who says "Lord Lord" will enter into the
kingdom and not everyone who says I'm for you will be for you at the day of
"reckoning" so politicians beware!...... Well, all that aside.... One
of our very own, the current speaker of the LAWSAN parliament and now aspiring
for the post of the NADESSTU presidency, Hon. ANTHONY AJOKPAOGHENE have a say
in these election palavers. He advised that we should endeavour to go out there
to exercise our civil rights and that we should shun sentimentality and choose
the right person who can carry the people along, according to him "there
is a clear difference between a boss and a leader, a boss says go- a leader
says let's go" he also appeal to all students to desist from violence of
any sort during and after the elections as violence does not solve any problem.
He further said that we should not vote for someone who will work for some week
and then pose tyranny for the rest of his tenure in office because whoever we
vote now will be our leader in the next four years at the national level and
one year is not small to gnash our teeth on campus so vote wisely. Well that's
what our honourable said and what else can I say except that I am on all fours
with him. A word is enough for the wise but this is more than a word so it is
sufficient for a fool.
