The Power That Be Thought And Reflections On People Power And Politics 1st Edition Summary: Across the world, things happen every second, be they in government, homes, companies and communities. Publications keep a tab on these happenings, for information, documentation and history. That is why the media is replete with “Breaking News” and updates.I have followed events in Nigeria and other countries as a journalist, who has operated at the centre of newspaper production. I have been involved in the reportage and documentation of events, whose process is as exciting as the minute-by-minute change of events. In addition to this, I have tried to write articles and express views on events, taking positions, where it is necessary, and offering insight and solutions, where these are required, unsolicited though.ThePowersThatBeis, therefore, a compendium of my articles/ views over the years, on people, politics and governments in Nigeria and other nations, arranged randomly. It is the views of a critical journalist, who, unimpressed by the conduct of people in government or excited about the contributions of some individuals/government institutions, has decided to delve gingerly in their world.Since the return of democracy, in 1999, in Nigeria, six governments have been in place, with four presidents: Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2003): Olusesun Obasanjo (2003-2007); UmarMusa Yar’Adua (2007-2010); Goodluck Jonathan (2010-2011); Goodluck Jonathan (2011-2015) and Muhammadu Buhari (2015 to date). It has been 20 years of democratic government, wherein the citizenry has seen the shenanigans of politicians and government officials, treachery, betrayals, political battles, failure of government, insecurity and politics of self.Under the Olusegun Obasanjo, the world saw a government that was full of action mainly aimed at survival of those in government. It was a period where a chairman of the ruling party at that time, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Senate presidents (heads of the upper legislative chamber) were made to kiss the dust by a president, who wanted to be the “Lord of the Manor.” It was a period that saw an attempt to elongate the tenure of the President, which failed. It was an era of a strong man in government, in the midst of weak institutions.The Umar Musa Yar’Adua government came to the limelight, for the wrong reason, when Mr. President fell ill, was taken out of the country for treatment and “held” incommunicado by a few people who wanted to rule in the name of an incapacitated president. The world saw the “Doctrine of Necessity,” a legislative contraption manufactured to transfer power to a Vice President, who was left in the lurch in the affairs of governance when Yar’Adua was indisposed.During the Goodluck Jonathan government, actions and reactions were not equal and opposite, as Physics taught. It was a government, which started on the heels of the death of a President and fully evolved through a bitter election, starting from the primary election of the PDP to the general election. It was a government of circumstance, which could not find favour in a section of the country that felt shortchanged in political power by the Numero Uno of the government.It was during the Goodluck Jonathan government that Nigeria saw, for the first time in recent history, the emergence of a northern consensus candidate, in a determined effort to ensure return of power to the North, during the contest for the PDP ticket. It was a period where the “baboon and monkeys will be soaked in blood”
