1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The Nigeria political system tends to forget
the footpath of their past leaders, the zeal to lead and the desire to
fight and defend her citizens is no longer there. Back in the 60’s,
Chief Obafemi Awolowo stood up stoutly against mediocrity and drift in
government, and began to define alternative channels along which
Nigeria’s government should go. His own concept of a Nigerian nation was
probably too advanced for his opponents, who began to see the
Awolowo-led opposition as a major threat. Following a trial for
treasonable felony, he was jailed for 10 years in September 1963. Every
day Nigeria and her citizen pray for another Chief Obafemi Awolowo;
but their dreams tend to diminish by the continuous drop in the
political standard of Nigeria.
