Our democracy is practiced on political party basis, our constitution has no recognition for individual candidacy, had it, Muhammadu Buhari would have successfully become the President without much ado. He is no doubt a political phenomenon, his cult like followership in the North is an undeniable proof of this. The constancy of his 11 million votes in 2003, 2007, 2011 established one thing; those 11 million people were not voting for his political parties, but for Muhammadu Buhari.

ARCHDEACON of Ikenne Archdeaconry, Anglican Communion, Venerable Samuel Enike has decried the deception by politicians and other persons who claim to be Awoists but do not follow the principles, practices and standards of Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
He noted that the deception was pervasive in the polity with several people wearing the symbolic Awolowo cap and eyeglasses and claiming to follow the principles of the late sage only to achieve their personal goals.
Contained in his sermon at the 34th Memorial Anniversary and Patronal Day of Chief Obafemi Awolowo held at Obafemi Awolowo Memorial Anglican Church, Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State, on Sunday, Enike urged politicians to shun telling lies about what they can offer the citizens.

Between 1999 and 2007 (eight years), five Senate presidents emerged from the five South-East states: one from each of the states. It is a point used to ridicule the South-East geopolitical zone as incapable of working as one. But those who make that argument miss the underlying point in that scenario.
Between 2007 and 2019, a period of 12 years, one person from the South-East, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, was the Deputy Senate President. The South-East ensured that he was not removed or replaced. No Senate President or Deputy Senate President or Speaker has stayed that long in office in Nigeria.
