Disconnect in governance

by Eze Eluchie

The outcry over the comments by erstwhile missing-in-action Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime, who after over 140 days absence from the State without as much as bothering to formally hand over to his deputy or inform the people of his State of his whereabouts, that he owed nobody any apology for his absence is quite pitiable.

Its either we do not yet get it or we have chosen to, like the Ostrich; bury our heads in the sands in the face of a fraudulent national Constitution which ensures that the rulers owe the ruled absolutely nothing.

Dear Sullivan Chime, I very much agree with you: you owe nobody any apology whatsoever. You and your peers who have by one way or the other attained high political office in Nigeria can continue with your profligacy because you indeed ‘owe nobody any apologies’. It is a people who have opted to remain docile in the face of infamy; who have continued to condone rascality in high places; who have reneged from asserting their humanity, that actually owe themselves and the future generations of our contraption an apology.

Perhaps the next governor or even Mr. President who goes on a trip abroad should consider ruling our contraption via Skype! The Nigerian Constitution actually allows it!
