There must be a strong reason why the Presidency and those egging Jonathan on are hesitant in being definite about 2015. Where there is no sincerity of purpose, there will be strife and rancour. Are elections not decided at the polls? What is wrong with us as a people? Are we sincere in building a united and virile nation? Who is deceiving who? There is no alternativ­e to a sound political ideology, which this country lacks. HARUNA L Y, Zaria, +2348082958­676

ABDULLAHI Kabir, Azare, Bauchi State, +2348035686­636 despite the President’s jettisonin­g and rebuking of it, to say nothing of the distancing from it by other security agencies, then that is a posture of an officer out for a showdown for reasons not anchored on national security. Could he have become suspicious that one retired army colonel could be in line to take over his job? Dangiwa should be wary of overheatin­g the most critical aspect of the polity- the security.
