2015 Elections: Myth or Reality?

GEJ the last nigerian president?

I have been watching the nigerian political scene with interest but rarely commenting partly because I see a sea of selfish ambitions in garbs of service to the nation but focused on looting.

I believed there was going to be an election in 2015 especially with the vigour that pro jonathan campaigners started the preparations for the 2015 presidential election using various groups.

I also watched as the North East slowly slipped a town at a time into absolute anarchy, when boko haram campaign picked up after the death of president Musa Yaradua, I watched as stuffs we hear happening in far away countries began happening here. 
I naively believed a Nigerian could never be a suicide bomber, it was the Arabs who could do such things until I started hearing of bomb blasts all over the north east and abuja. 

When it turned into a war, I had so much confidence in our soldiers to rout out these insurgents going by their track record of stopping the war in Liberia and Sierra leone. I believed the army just didn’t want to appear brutal but alas I was wrong! 

Then the blame game started, as people died the politicians played the deaths for maximum political gains.  The religious bodies were not left out each group pointing accusing finger whilst ardents of all faiths got slaughtered.

Through all these macabre din, the electoral dance began, not like it ever stopped but it reached higher crescendo daily.  The peak was the NASS brouhaha at which point I stopped and viewed the whole system with my macroscope and realized, we are all just being taken for a huge ride, a long con, there cant possibly be an actual plan for any presidential election to take place in 2015!

Lets go back to the days of  SDP and NRC in which baba Maradona himself Gen IBB took us all on a merry go round of a phantom transition to civil rule.
I remember he first said people should form their parties which they did then after awhile he found an excuse, created two parties, drew up manifestos for both, built party offices throughout the country, organised primaries, there  was even debates on national tv which culminated in the freest and fairest elevtion in the history of nigeria and a yoruba man defeated tofa in his own state! 

Chief Abiola emerged the winner after 7 years of a long con only to die in prison because Ibb was actually taking us all on a ride! he planned for all to fail!

I remember that Chief gani fawehinmi was the lone voice who insisted and fought right from the start of the phantom transition saying Gen IBB had no plans to leave power!
Now yet again I see signs there will be no presidential election holding in 2015.

I will give you my reasons in the next series of this post.
