Ndigbo must embrace what is possible not a cruel future

"A restructured Nigeria will make 'without me you are going nowhere' narrative unattractive"-Uche Okeke

In changing times, people must not allow ruthless politicians to see them as 'useful idiots' to settle political scores. They say in life 'anyone can dream all they like about the opportunities they hope will come' but the reality is always different. We must not allow personal ambitions to lure us into a cruel future. Luring in people to live under tyranny is mediaval and must be resisted. Igbo President at this point in history seems a misplaced ambition given abundant evidence of political and economic risks the country faces. Confused politicians seeking personal gains must not be allowed to ruin our collective future since its obvious that they lack the capacity to break down the barriers of the monstrous political system that they seek to exploit. It's obvious that we are no stakeholders in the main political parties so this puts us in a very messy position to re-think pointless fantasies. Igbo president in a dysfunctional political system is not the answer to exploitation and social exclusion. GEJ Presidency is a constant reminder not to fall victims of vain promises by those who resist restructuring but suddenly realise that we can be a good statistics to consolidate their grips on power. A coalition that guarantees us the restructuring of the monstrous political structure is the only sure route instead of playing Russian Roulette with a very negligible probability of success. It's really very sad that politicians are simply driven by greed and personal gains instead of the big challenges of the majority they claim to represent. The only sensible way forward is to support #AtikulatedObi which has been the bold option until unnecessary controversy of the choice of Vice-Presidential candidate. Ndigbo must resist the danger of heading in a different direction given a new concensus on the need for restructuring for growth and stability. 2023 maybe round the corner what matters most is the peace and prosperity of the citizens that you seek to rule. The evidence of state failure is urgent reminder to think different about this 'long game'. We deserve better than this. Atiku may not be the best but everyone knows the reason for his emergence, so he has a moral duty to perform better.  Click on this link to read more: http://www.theleadprojectfoundation.com/2018/11/nigerias-atikulatedobi-is-solution-to.html
