Non-violent critics of underperforming leaders are only rendering patriotic service; as their actions will spur the citizenry to transparently decide the political future of the country.
Non-violent criticism ought to be viewed as a compliment because it outlines how leaders can move away from below the set standards and mediocrity.
In short run, the shortcomings of the leaders are showcased, but in the long run it enables them to perform better.
In the light of the above, true federalism must not be characterized by the absence of the rule of law and by inequalities or the predominance of anyone of the component units.
The predominance of the center is contrary to the principles of federalism.
Indeed, the country’s system is a travesty.
It is distorted.
No country can ever move forward based on superficially attractive programs that are obviously window dressed palliatives designed as soothing balm to pacify impoverished and distraught Nigerians.
Of great worry, is the fact that under this dispensation, the supremacy of the constitution is not respected by the present crop of political office holders.
The conduct of free, fair and credible elections, is perhaps, not possible in an environment, of indiscipline, lawlessness and criminality.
Interestingly, corruption is an official template in the Federal Republic, while public office has become a conclave of corrupt personalities.
It is very glaring that the establishment is responsible for the radicalization of those responsible for violent crimes in different parts of the country, creating in them sense of indestructibility and also equipping them with weapons of destruction.
The workable option left for those-in charge is to return to the drawing board and address the issues revolving around morality.
