No matter how good you are, you cannot rule another man without his consent!
The weekend was filled with jubillant noises of celebration on the streets of Edo state, as incumbent Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was given another opportunity to rule Edo state, on a landslide victory of 477,478 as against PDP who could only garner 144,235 votes. The people of Edo have shown Nigerians that for a truth, the power to governance lies in the hands of the voters. Gone are the days when 'a carton of detergent' or 'ten thousand naira' was used to buy votes.
Leadership is influence and if Osho Baba had made embezzlement of public funds his top priority and not the livelihood and welfare of the people, i tell you, the people of Edo state would not have gone to this lenght to support him, protect their votes to ensure that he emerged winner, to the extent that most churches in the state were half-full due to the celebration. This indeed, is a step forward for Nigeria.
If only Nigerians would emulate this act come 2015 and use merit and achievements, not Ethnic, Religous, Linguistic or Political party to determine our president, Nigeria would be marching towards a destination we truly deserve..."Giants of Africa".
CONGRATS Baba Osho on a well deserved victory, KUDOS the peoiple of Edos state for reminding us again that our votes really count, and Thank you ACN for providing a worthy opposition!!!
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
