When mother goat is chewing the cud the child goat is learning from her. Leadership is by example. Who holds Tibunu accountable that he is asking the state indigenes to hold their governors accountable?
The only way to hold political office holders accountable is by free, fair, credible and transparent electoral system. The major reason the political class gets away with embezzlement and impunity is lack of a transparent electoral system by which the citizens speak louder with their votes. Any incumbent who knows that the people will vote him out if he doesn’t perform will strive to satisfy the yearnings of the people except he is sure to sacrifice his future political endeavours on the altar of corruption.
Unfortunately this same president who claims he fought for democracy and that he is deepening it has not made any declaration that he would ensure that the era of electoral banditry is over. Since he took over he has not sent any ExecutiveBill to NASS to amend the ElectoralAct to ensure that the citizen’s vote counts. It is such a shame really.
