ELECTION CAMPAIGNS - A DISGRACE TO THE CITIZENRY


As we draw nearer to 2015 when most states will be electing their respective state governors and the country will also be electing her president nationwide, evaluating the fate of the Nigeria citizenry has become pertinent.

With the on-going mimicry of sharing bags of odourless Fufu, rice, milk, money and kerosene as we have seen in both Ekiti and Osun states, our politicians have finally succeeded in disclosing to the masses how hapless, poor and maybe seemingly worthless they perceive them to be. They have just told us that wooing the masses is pretty simple and very affordable. Or how else could they belittle the voters if not by demonstrating a flash-in-the-pan kind of kindness? Kerosene? Rice? Fufu? Milk? Money? Really? Won’t all of these finish within the first week after their elections? What insolence!
