THERE is a need for politicians holding high positions of public trust to think through their policies and programmes before making them public. Otherwise, the good intentions behind such policies could turn around and breed nightmares which will be difficult, if not impossible, to handle.

BY recovering the remains of the late retired Major General Idris Alkali in Lafande community in Jos, Plateau State, the Nigerian Army successfully carried out a grim mission to find one of its officers who disappeared on September 3, 2018, on his way from Abuja to Bauchi through Jos.

ABUJA residents woke up Monday, October  29, 2018, to scenes of utter chaos and pandemonium, as the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, or the Shi’ites and the Nigerian Army engaged in a bloody face-off in Karu and other suburbs of the Federal Capital Territory.

NOW, it is certain that of the nearly 100 political parties asking Nigerians to vote for them in 2019, two are in the forefront: the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, governing at the centre and in some states, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  in opposition at the national level but in administration in some states.

NIGERIANS are getting sick and tired of the petty politics being played by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) over the execution of projects that have existed through the regimes controlled by both political parties.
