The characteristic
vice of the utopian is naivety; of the realist, sterility – E.H. Carr
The reality of the
2019 elections battle is finally dawning upon us.
The contestation for power is becoming heightened.
Alignments and re-alignments are taking place. Some of the early birds who took the assurance of a ticket on some platforms
for granted are beginning to realise their mistakes.
The party that was in power yesterday has now
become a receiver of presidential aspirants of all shapes and sizes, who have
come to the realisation of the folly in nursing such ambition within the fold
of the governing party, with the incumbent favoured to pick the ticket.
