Interesting indeed that I am these days, clearly singing from the same hymnbook with Reuben Abati. The similarity in our vocabularies strikes me with awe. Many thanks indeed for buttressing this general picture of inertia inherent in the current status quo. Yar'Adua reminds me today of a misguided Mikhail Gorbachov, who thought the solution to the problem of the USSR was simple: "Glasnost and Perestroika and the USSR would be revamped" But he was in for a dreadful surprise. UMYA seems to think that handling Nigeria is simple: "Only be the opposite of OBJ and you are through". But he is seeing now that he needs far more imagination and charisma and not meaningless policy reversals.

Precisely the uncertainty over presidential legitimacy should have been the ultimate catalyst to spur any reasonable leader to action for as long as it lasts!
