There's palpable tension in the country as we eagerly await the final results of the Presidential Elections. The delays by INEC can be likened to the suspense associated with Hollywood movies. Nigerians have decided. What's left is for the decision to be made public.
The political drama of the past weeks is about to reach its crescendo. The hours of anticipation will definitely end today. Whatever happens, we'll have a President elect today. I just hope that the result represents the true wishes of the Nigerian people. That should reduce the likelihood of post-election strife.
I must commend INEC for trying to give Nigerians a credible election. The card readers and permanent voters cards are welcome innovations. Despite the lapses, INEC has shown that there's hope for the future especially as it concerns restoring 'one man, one vote'. Any unbiased assessment will show that Jega has done a good job.
Politics is like a game of football. Winners and losers must emerge after the process. Our Politicians should learn from sportsmen and learn to embrace one another after results are announced. All grievances should be addressed by the tribunals. Violence and blood-letting do us no good. The era of Do or Die Politics should come to an end.
Nigeria is our beloved country. The growth of this country rests in our hands. If the youths refuse to be used as agents of violence by politicians, the future will be brighter. Whoever wins, a new dawn is here. The only way to go is forward. Let's keeping marching forward. Victoria acerta.
