After The Madness Called Election 2003
Anybody who thinks that the inauguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo on May 29, 2003 as Nigeria’s president for the next four years, the exaggerated façade that attended that inauguration, the scary omnipresence of all manner of security agents that only succeeded in bottling up people’s justifiable anger, the presence of some heads of state, mostly African dictators – birds of the same feather – who flocked together to celebrate the electoral brigandage and the brutal subversion of the people’s will, and so forth, have finally laid to rest the bitterness, the fury, the tension, the frustration the bloodshed and the trauma that the so-called 2003 elections generated in our collective psyche is sleeping through a revolution. In the face of the political holocaust that has been threatening to guzzle Nigeria since that unprecedented electoral robbery, the author holds that the question which should bother us today is not whether we have any right under a democratic dispensation to tell President Obasanjo that Nigeria is sinking and sinking fast under his close watch. The question is rather whether any of those who staked their lives by defending Nigeria and Nigerians from the excesses of Sani Abacha has any right to watch President Obasanjo in silence while he expands the scope of his democratic tyranny and drags this country into a political abyss.
