SHAME!

Democracy is about process. Wherever and whenever that process is abused, violated, altered, or not instituted at all, democracy is harmed. Honest watchers of what has been going on in Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo’s Nigeria will attest that it has been devoid of a process in the true sense of the word. It’s sad that one man alone has spear-headed what has amounted to a free for all violation of what ought to be the electoral process all in the bid to satisfy his bloated ego. Compare what has been underway in Obasanjo’s Nigeria in the name of elections with what has been going on in France and reach your own conclusion. Mr. Obasanjo is obviously satisfied that the script he authored has produced the drama he envisaged. But what he produced is indeed a shameful drama, which is why this medium tells him, SHAME!
