I really hate to do this for I have told myself to stay away from the nasty politics of a banana republic where thuggery and violence is the order of the day in what supposedly should have been a free and fair election. But that's not the case. The problem now is, in a nation of over 250 or more ethnic groups, one ethnic group has the front ruuners making it obvious a Fulani takes over May 29, that is if the bigot Olusegun Obasanjo makes up his mind to step down, especially now that they are cooking up stories against Senate President Ken Nnamani on his plans to set up an interim national government which would land him in Aso Rock.
The Daily Independent article is quite interesting which notes that "Three Nigerians of the Fulani ethnic extraction, Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Major General Muhammad Buhari (rtd), and Alhaji Umaru Musa Yaradua of the Action Congress, (AC), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party respectively will today slug it out as front runners in the race to find the successor for president Olusegun Obasanjo when his eight-year tenure ends next month."
Ridiculous?
