In a statement sent out
after President Jonathan conceded defeat to General Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's
former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, made an assertion which will continue to
reverberate through history.He said of Jonathan: "History will be kind to
you". It was a ringing endorsement of the selflessness of the outgoing
president.
*Gov Amaechi
Passing a judgement on
Govenor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi on the other hand presents a conundrum. Lauded
in some parts of Nigeria (especially outside Rivers State) as democracy's stand
up guy owing to his battles against President Jonathan, and his monumental
support of the incoming 'saintly' president, Amaechi comes across as the
proverbial father who does more for outsiders than his own family members.
