The decision to impose this state of emergency was long overdue but the president was toying with the idea. I cannot categorically say a reason why he delayed but I will not be surprised if it is connected with his 2015 bid. However, I am more of the opinion that he lack the balls to take that decision in the first place. I am happy somehow he has shown us he has balls afterall.
What has been lacking in Nigeria has been good leadership. We lack leaders who are not carried away by their parochial interests but rather by the interest of the entity called Nigeria. When we voted Jonathan we thought he was going to be different. As it is now I am yet to see the difference.
But this action of declaring the state of emergency may be the beginning of more decisive moves by the president. I am looking forward to action like jailing those oil theives, like arresting flagrant talking Asari dokubo and Annkio Briggs, bringing the Omatse traditionalist to justice, fighting corruption and be seen doing so, and so many things we expect of him.
He should remember to ensure that electricity is provided too and our roads repaired. He should weed out those in his government that are encouraging the slow motion because of their selfish interests. All I am saying is the this president should take action and show us that he really has balls.
