At the last count, there were, between the two major political parties, 23 persons aspiring to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in a free and fair election. Moral uprightness, or in one word, rectitude is a sine qua non for a leader to be trusted. He who jumps from one political party founded on a particular set of principles and ideology of governance, to another that may be completely at variance with the former is unreliable, untrustworthy, and unfit for leadership. But this also applies, unreservedly, to political parties and the manifestoes they freely, without compulsion, offer to the electorate. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba is reported to see the many aspirants from his party as an indication of its capability to rescue Nigeria.
