Nigeria politics is anchored on
one thing and that is platform, in which the actors use to ascend leadership
positions. When the Peoples’ Democratic Party was in power and the ruling party
in government, the party is the cynosure of any aspiring politician.
Now, the game has changed as we are approaching another election in
less than one and half years, some elected politicians and those, who may
aspire for elective office may change gear to the ruling All Progressives
Congress.
So, the defection of Cairo Ojougboh and his co-travelers
did not come as a surprise, because it only goes to confirm the long-known agenda
of the Sherrif led PDP, which was to destroy the party and then pitch tent with APC.
Nigerian politicians have no scruples and are devoid of ideology and morals. Politics, for years, or all too
long, has not been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong...
There is no doubt Nigerian politics cannot produce
anything different from what we have right now, until there is a change in the
people's values. We should also note that the politics of "Man Must
Wack" will probably not be repudiated, as long as the Ethic of the Loot
remains, as the organizing principle of political life, popularly enforced by
the military forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, accepted by the people,
and forcibly financed by the people, and the communities of the Niger Delta.
