Yesterday, in what became an anti-climax, Honorable Bayo Osinowo declared to run for a seat in the senate, to represent the people of Lagos East – a constituency already enjoying credible repressentation by Senator Gbenga Ashafa. Surrounded by friends and supporters, Honorable Osinowo read to his audience a prepared speech that was rather uninspiring – while struggling to articulate anything close to a coherent agenda if given the mandate.  One would have expected a little more detail and rigor from a legislator who has served in the Lagos state house of Assembly for 15 years.  To say his declaration speech was disappointing is only to put it mildly.

Public officials do not owe Nigerians an explanation for making statements that undermine democracy and the intelligence of Nigerians

Most Nigerian politicians are neither creative nor ingenious. Because they are not imaginative, there is no originality of thought, which explains why they are very predictable. Call it herd-mentality and you have hit the bull’s eye. Every political stunt, no-matter how fatuous, sooner than later becomes a fad.
