| Re: .A Bolekaja Presidency (3) There is indeed nothing interesting about what is going on between OBJ and Atiku. If it means anything, it shows how difficult it is and will be always for a President to hold his deputy as hostage in the name of corrupt practices. The battle of wits will not end in anything but a pregnant future that will born hate forever between the existing political divides in the name of religion, ethnic and regional affiliations. OBJ shouldn't have started this. He should have known that all government officials everywhere in the world are corrupt just as he and his deputy are. Political philosophy since 18th century did not attempt in anyway to separate end from means. It asserts the importance of goals first before any consideration is given to the means of attaining them.
I am sorry to say please, but this is how states are run everywhere across the globe. Unless if OBJ does not want Nigeria to continue, he can go ahead this way and declare himself to be the most unpatriotic leader we ever had by his antics. It is then we can vividly recall how he was incarcerated for several months for commiting treason against the nation under the leadership of the maximum dicatator, Abacha.
But all nations belong to some few individuals be them America, Britain or Saudi Arabia. If OBJ is not willing to share the ownership of Nigeria with some few others just like Abacha, he then, should be ready to end in the debris of history as another unsung villian.
