CHANGE THE STATUS QUO WITH YOUR VOTE
Many Nigerians are angered by the ornate lifestyle of our politicians resulting from their highly overpriced offices. While a majority of the citizens languish in abject poverty, the politicians are neck-deep in ostentatious fad, drinking themselves to stupor, acquiring more wives are cruising in private jets.
Looking at today’s post, which is a ridicule of the lifestyle of politicians in the Second Republic as was once highlighted in my Concord Laff column, the only thing that readily comes to mind is that we seem to have a rendezvous with corrupt leadership. Not much has changed, considering the disposition of the present crop of politicians. Nonetheless, this is an opportune moment to make amends. Let us decide against corruption with our votes.
The accompanying cartoon is a caricature of the disastrous ends of some past African leaders.
Please feel free to post your comments on the way forward. God bless you.
