Meet the New Boss

…‘same as the old Boss. Probably the year's most infamous presidential run, Nigeria's search for the nation's Ace has turned out a relay race (duh!). While irate opponents are crying foul, breathing fire and puking on humble pie, the ruling party's government is suspending its gleeful gloat for a more politically expedient route: sending plenipotentiaries to media stations across the nation in the bid to pour oil on troubled waters. Speaking of troubled waters, the country's focal point should be narrowing back to the normalcy of the Nigerian condition - power shortages, unemployment spikes, religious extremist conflicts up North, hostage-takings down South, the whole 'enviable' enchilada. Hm...Mallam Yar'Adua DID say he would unreservedly accept the outcome of April 21. Let's hope he doesn't 'botch' beyond what he'd bargained for.
