I must first congratulate Mr. President,
Goodluck Joanatan for his maturity,magnanimity and statesmanship by being the first to congratulate GeneralMuhammadu Buhari on his win at the polls,e no easy sha. Accepting defeat. This is a sign of a shift in the right direction.Nigerians should be proud of the freest andthe fairest election ever! Elections inAfrica, over time, have come to be a timeof despair for contesting candidates, and
for the citizenry whose energies at seeking decent leadership for their countries have always been a worthlesseffort.
It is also a time for the opposition to endure all
that comes with an uneven political playing field
such as harassment of opposition leaders and their
members as well as the abuse of state machinery
to further intimidate opposition supporters and
retain government. For the electorate, it is again,
a time when they have to be fed on a diet of lies,
misconceptions and falsehood, those similar to
folktales. In short, tales by moonlight.
Since the birth of our democracy, it has never been
said that incumbent administration lost presidential spot; even though we have seen a few States like Oyo where incumbents have never returned to that seat.
In the same vein, elections have always been
marred with clear signs of malpractices until the
2011 polls that saw the installment of Jega as the
Electoral Boss. For the first time, we had an
election that was adjudged by all as free and
fair, as was evident that the people’s choice
emerged. This year again, history has been
repeated and made even better. These elections
have been ruled by not a few to be free and fair;
which might, for the first time in history, change
the history of oppositions and power of
incumbency. I should probably say that this man Jega is a man of many firsts, besides his obvious qualities of courage and tenacity.
I have never been into Nigerian politics but when
it comes to identifying and celebrating deviants
(in a good way), I really do for obvious reasons: I
am one myself. This time around we need to give
it to this man Jega. He deserves our standing or
sitting ovation.
I wish that our youth can learn a thing or two
from his administration, his willingness and ability
to take in pressure, not break, stay focused and
deliver on set task not minding whose ass is
fucked.
I want to now see a Nigeria where our youth will
rise up and take the challenge to do things right
even in the face of great opposition and going
outside the norm. A nation where the youth are
driven by the desire to do what is right and not
what is normal, bearing in mind that the annals
of history have no space to feature men
who repeat history, rather, men who deemed
it worthwhile to go out of their way, break
protocols, create new realms and standards.
Jega is a lesson in calmness, a brilliant Professor
and am very proud of him. Today, the
International Community is full of accolades for
Nigeria because of this achievement. Everybody,
including the super powers, has one thing or the
other to learn from this to better their own. Now,
that's unbelievable as commendable!
Say what you may about Jega, failed card
readers, lateness of INEC officials to polling units,
late accreditation, late night voting, announcing
of election results in series as in soap operas,
whatever; this man is a moving train. He knows
what he's doing and Nigerians better know that.
In my opinion, and I think I speak for many, the
success of the 2015 presidential elections is a vote
for Jega.
Once again, I salute your courage Attahiru Jega,
history, I am sure, has a place for men like
you. Once again our young democracy seems
maturing as elections can be said to reflect the
will of the people. I can’t judge if that 'will'
however, is the best alternative to our young
democracy but we sure have joined the rest of
some other African countries like South Africa,
Benin Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal and Ghana,
who have taken the courage to move away from
the ruling party syndrome.
So fellow Nigerians, with a standing ovation
wherever you're reading this, raise your glasses,
let's doff our hats as I propose a toast to the
focused, undeterred, visionary, tenacious,
resilient and outstandingly brilliant Professor,
Atahiru Jega!!
