Since the inception of democracy in Nigeria most politicians from this part of the world have often been described as corrupt, fraudulent, self-centered deaf to the yearning and aspiration of the people and even evil.

DIAGNOSING the problems confronting Nigeria, Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora, we consistently accuse the military’s long stay in power as a major cause.

Elections to a large extent have been won and lost but the drumbeats of political manipulations and propaganda are still echoing in the background.

FOR the governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, it is the month of May, time to hand over to another. Indeed whatever has a beginning will definitely end someday. In the past few years of his administration, this season looked too far, but it is here already. Even if his tenure is extended by another four or eight years through his son-in-law proxy which he attempted to foist on the state, it will still end someday. But that is good history, hence it is easy to see where his disputation of the recent election of Chief Emeka Ihedioha as governor of the state is headed.
