THE ELECTIONS: IGNORE THE THREATS

As we progress with the elections, it is important to encourage every eligible voter to defy the threats of the forces of darkness who are busy trying to divert attention with one bombing episode after the other.

Today’s post examines the genesis of this terrorism which began with the yet-unredressed bombing of Mr. Delegiwa in 1986. And because Dele Giwa’s murder has remained unredressed, it has led to the current domino effect of nation-wide terrorism.

The best we can do for ourselves as patriots is to troop out to the polling booths and vote in our choice candidates who will strive to restore law and order. INEC might not have gotten their acts totally together, but from indications around the country so far, we have no other choice than to cooperate fully every way.

CARTOON CORNER

1982 was declared the International Year for Sanctions against the Apartheid Regime. In today’s cartoon published by one of the Daily Times titles in January, 1982, Namibia is seen in a state of despair, unable to believe that apartheid would ever come to an end.

Well, just as apartheid finally came to an end, and freedom came to Southern Africa, I address you today, if you are a Nigerian, asking whether this election will bring us any good. The light is right at the end of the tunnel. Look out, and you will see it.
