Rather, Nigerians have been insultingly treated to trivia, to accusations and counter-accusations on the level of corruption perpetrated by different individuals from different political parties. The fate of Nigeria and the future of the citizens of this badly run nation are at stake. The political parties seem to be prepared for war and not a game of persuading the people to cast their ballots. All the political parties must, however, swear to respect the will of the people when they freely and fairly perform their civic obligations on those days. It does bear reiteration that the elections are indeed about Nigeria and Nigerians, not about the contestants.
