"with the exclusion of truth, a lie thrives in solitude"
On Wednesday 30th march, the last and the least of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) collaboration with Nigerian Elections Debate group (NEDG) once again was broadcast. True the words of the ANPP ACN & CPC Presidential candidates who refused to attend, the obvious could not be denied. Speaking on broad areas already disclosed, the PDP presidential candidate Goodluck Jonathan had the whole field to himself and spoke as he dimmed fit. Though unchallenged, he had the time buzzing on every question, like he had so much to say and in the so much was found nothing but empty, worn out campaign cliche. He had ready answers to questions on the power sector, political appointments, corruption, the freedom of information bill (FOI bill), agriculture, budget implementation and a whole other range of topics which turned the interview into a jolly good ride.
As the elections kick off on Saturday the 2nd of April 2011, the reality of the situation will gradually play out as we step into the very first 24 hours of the long awaited Nigerian General Elections 2011. Questions on security remain paramount as the issues of election violence.
