LORRETTA ONOCHIE – A DOOMED NOMINATION

Me, I no really like madam o. I have followed her positioning and utterances very keenly over the last few years and must say that her interventions have really been lacking in standards and depth. You see, at times when you have this kind of job they have given her, there is a way you will carry out the tasks that even your opponents will look at you and say- yes, that is a brilliant one. This one used to just ram into issues like Jankara person and further complicate matters with her interjections. So when she was nominated for the INEC thing, she sef should have known that this thing cannot work. It was a PR bomb for those who nominated her because, from time immemorial, her image was very far from the neutrality that was needed for the job. In fact, her nomination could be termed as very insensitive, especially when the government should be looking at the legacy it will be leaving behind as it cruises into the last few months of its tenure. So carrying yourself with big lipstick to the Senate to justify the nomination smirked of a major detachment from reality. Thankfully, the Senate, after being barraged by a series of petitions, did the rightful thing. We cannot continue to weaken our institutions with these moves and expect that society will be safeguarded. The continuous erosion of the levers of society that we have witnessed all of these years is what we are suffering today with the increased criminality at all levels and the seeming helplessness at pulling society back from the brink by authorities. It is, however, never too late to do the right thing. The government should move past this fiasco and throw up a much more credible candidate for the position. Even if that one sef get k-leg, at least sha respect us small by sending someone that would at least pretend to be neutral until he enter. Not madam, make she go do something else, work plenty for ground. She can be welfare officer for the Falcons na. Not this one.
