CONTENDING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT

Fellow country men and women,

As we brood over the abrupt dislocation of the electoral process over the weekend, as we grapple with the inconveniences and disappointments therefrom, let us understand that it is our duty to forge on. The enemy is on the prowl, expecting failure, but we must be on our guard rooting for victory.

I urge everyone to learn a lesson from an analysis of the impatient nature of the Nigerian published in the Sunday Concord sometime in 1982.

No matter what our feelings are, the path of honour is to encourage Professor Jega and his team, not to call for his head. Rather than condemn, let us make suggestions.

CARTOON CORNER

Today’s cartoon is on the misadventure of the Nixon administration, leading to the Cambodian genocide. The truth remains that harmony within any given system is a deterrent to imperialist intervention.

We must determine to fight against all external influences aimed at disintegrating Nigeria. The weapon in our hands is the ballot. With patience and good calculation, let us troop back to the polling booths this Saturday and throughout the elections. Let us vote wisely and ensure stability for our nation. The sacrifice is well worth it.

Remember, after the cloud comes the rain. God bless Professor Jega, God bless the Federal Government, and God bless you for your understanding.

Lest we forget…CHANGE IS HERE.
