Aunty Jabou,
A very astute observation. The conscience of our nation has to be
rekindled. The moral and compassionate values of our society needs to be
regained. We should become conscious of all the mistakes of the past, the lessons
that ought to be learnt, and strive to build again our nation block by block.
The situation of the Opposition is heart wrenching, and is not
helping in the cause to uproot an entrenched and consolidated political
establishment. We have a cankerworm in our society, that needs not only to be removed
but to assure that it will never recur again.
Let us build a society where it will never be necessary to stage a
coup. Let us build a society where the democratic safeguards, including
presidential term limits, will become the fundamental bases upon which our political
structures are built.
Let all the interest groups for once subordinate their interest to
the yearnings, the good intentions, and the protracted struggles of the many
who are tirelessly working to usher in the dawn of a new day for our country.
In the absence of a united opposition that can wrestle the mantle of
power from the ruling government, the aspirations of expanding the
democractic space, open all public media to dissenting views, purge all obnoxious laws
electoral and constitutional from the body politics, will remain an
illusion. So there is so much stake.
