Just like yesterday on March 10, 2010, Nigerians bent the capricious hand of kismet and rose against the pirating of the presidency. Nigerian libertarians, in their hundreds, converged on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and marched to the residence of authority, demanding the actualization of the ‘’doctrine of necessity’’. The ailing Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had just been snaked into the country from Saudi Arabia while a coterie of scavengers held power by the jugular and were unwilling to relax their grip. Nigerians of all religion, tongues and tribes rose and defied impunity.
It did not matter that the beneficiary (Goodluck Jonathan) of the collective struggle of citizens was a Christian or from a section of the country that is considered as a minority group. Nigerians fought a battle of conviction and of good over evil. Though the 2010 struggle was not about Jonathan per se, fate deposited a lot of goodwill and hope in the former president’s repository.
