I write in the wake of the results of the just concluded presidential election conducted on Saturday and Sunday in the country. From available data, Nigerians have spoken loud and clear. We have shown our resolve to change guard and allow a new set of leaders pilot the affairs of our country.
A few days ago, I showed reservations about this move, I still believe in them but I believe more in the collective decisions of the majority. For us to continue to exist as a nation, we must respect that.
It is important to state equivocally that every Nigerian must respect this decision and take it in good fate. No one is bigger than this country and as such no one should attempt to burn it down. Nigeria was before we were and will be when we are gone.
Let this also serve as a deterrent to every politician that beyond the theories of quote, the power of the people is truly greater than the people in power, hence, the president-elect must know that we will ask questions and question his decisions.
Welcome to a new world with me, welcome to true democracy. Welcome to a new Nigeria.
