Avery big question, some years ago during the administra­tion of President Olusegun Obasanjo Sgt Barnabas Roger was freed and recalled into the military. I wonder where he has been since then. The man is alive. He is lying low for now.

So sad, I think Roger’s case is the same as that of many others. I believe it’s time the government establishe­d a veterans’ commission like what is obtained in other countries so that people like Rogers and many others can be adequately catered for. Rogers and his colleagues did their best for the country. I think he is in Dubai. That is God for you. You may be something today and tomorrow, nothing. The last time I heard of him was when he had an accident. What of Doctor Yakasai, where is he? Yes, where is the strong and fearless Rogers? This is a very good article by Daily Trust on Sunday. Well done! May God protect and keep him. Rogers was indeed a fearless soldier.

The PDP was in power for years before it was voted out due to poor performanc­e. So, I don’t see how it can return to power in 2019. All I can say is that majority of Nigerians are happy with the change of baton. From what I see, there will be trouble in 2019. With the current state of the PDP? I don’t see that happening. PDP cannot resolve this crisis unless they remove Makarfi and Sheriff, and appoint a new person as chairman of the party.

It’s not about sweeping votes but service delivery. What the PDP and APC are just after is power and that is rather unfortunat­e. The PDP is history and people should get used to the idea. From the way things are going, the crisis in the party will linger for a long time. What are they going to use to sweep 2019, when we have all the brooms in our hands? The APC has bought all the brooms in the market. They should just forget about the party. We are with you, Sir.
