The donation of N50 million by the APC leader and presidential aspirant, Bola AhmedTinubu, to victims of bandits’ attack in Zamfara State is political communication.

Scores have been gruesomely killed, murdered, butchered, raped, kidnapped others displaced in Zamfara, Borno and other northern states, but we have not heard Tinubu even sending a condolence message to them.

It is pertinent for Nigerians to note that ‘he who pays respect for the great, is paving his own way to greatness’. He does that with a motive!

We all should wake up from our long slumbers and vote for energetic and competent leaders and people with fresh minds. This is because a fresh mind comes with fresh ideas. We should not vote for people struggling with age, who have nothing new to accelerate our development.

The only mistake Nigerians will do is to vote based on religious sentiments, cultural inclination and political affiliation. I am certain, what Nigerians will face will be more sinister than what we are facing today.

The only way to overcome our problems and realise our full potentials, is to get involved in  things that really matter and stop the culture of silence. We should give more impetus to young people with great minds and ideas. If we do that Nigeria will be on its way to realising her full potentials.
