As the election period drew close late last year there was so much talk about the nation having credible elections in order for the people to elect the right leaders to run the nation, many politicians were busy going about changing political parties and doing their political campaigns more so battling on who who become the next president of Nigeria.
The former vice president of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar switched political parties, he went from the action congress of (AC) to the people's democratic party (PDP) forgetting that some years ago he criticised the PDP (which was filmed and has been shown on tv) for being a defective party that will cost the nation a lot if the masses vote and elect politicians in that party into any political office. Meanwhile he joined the PDP recently showing how eager is to become president after he has held the post of a governor, a vice president.
Other politicians vying to be elected into governership seat, senatorial and other political offices will do whatever it takes to be elected. All this is been done for financial gain because the pay is so high that some people will kill for that post for example a senator earns N45 million every three months thats $300,000 which is more than a united states congressman's salary, their earnings for a whole year is more than the united states president's salary.
We pray the right people are elected into office that would formulate policies that will enable the nation achieve economic growth.
