The Slow Degeneration of Decorum

By Babafemi Ojudu We have truly degenerated in Nigeria. Can you imagine a Shehu Shagari as minister in the First Republic behaving this way? Or a Richard Akinjide in the Second? Or Chief Bola Ige in the Third? Public life in Nigeria has lost its dignity. The solemnity once associated with leadership has been replaced…

Barely 48hours after the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP) Peter Obi, appeared at Chatham House, Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP) has said he would be live at Chatham House on Wednesday.

Kwankwaso in a tweet on Tuesday, said “Tomorrow, I’ll be joining the audience at @ChathamHouse and all over the World, to discuss our policy ideas for improving systems and services in Nigeria.

“I look forward to a most engaging conversation”. – RMK

It would be recalled that Peter Obi while speaking on his manifesto at the same Chatham House, London, United Kingdom ahead of the February 25 presidential election, promised to attend to genuine agitations from different groups clamouring for self determination.

in his words “I condemn all agitators. But in condemning them, you have to look at why all these agitators are all over the place, including IPOB, the Yoruba Nation.

“The ethnic tension you see today is a result of injustice, unfairness, exclusion and marginalization. Immediately we start reversing that, they (ethnic tensions) start going down. This is what I tell you about agitations. As long as we start doing the right things, as soon as we start building an inclusive society where people’s talent and hard work will match up their opportunities, you will start seeing those things go down. There is tension even in the western world. We will show compassion; we will show love.”

The former Anambra State governor also said he would ensure social justice is enthroned in order to discourage social unrest and criminality.
