DOES THE EFFECT OF SLAVERY IN AFRICA STILL AFFECT OUR ORIENTATION?

It is not gainsaying that the political system in Lagos state has totally become autocratic where the reigns of the state have been handed over to one man, supported by an army of untrained politicians whose only foothold in politics is dependent on the same man and, the support of the unguided poor masses for a token  given to them by this same man.

CHECK OSUN STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION - THE CONFIRMATION OF A BITTER TRUTH.
When one overhears the members of the ruling party, APC, expressing their grievances on how a man is deciding the fate of the state by imposing every governorship aspirant in the party on them, one will only try to find out if there is no available platform for them to offer their contributions  towards the decision making in the party?"

 In 2014 during APC primary election, Ambode was the Tinubu anointed candidate over other aspirants in the party. But a primary was held, where the members were given the opportunity to choose their favorite candidates, but Ambode effectually became the party flag bearer in the governorship race. Surprisingly there was hue and cry after the election that Ambode was imposed on the party, who later became the the governor of the state?
But, how did Ambode win the primary since only Tinubu' s vote can't make him win the election?
CAN NIGERIA RECOVER HER LOST VALUE?

In a saint society it would be expected that the party members learn how to speak with a voice to decide the fate of the party in the next primary election , but it's pathetic to discover that no lesson was learned and no action was taken to prevent a reoccurrence of such.

 Expectedly there has been a disagreement between the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the governor Ambode over his second term ambition. Governor Ambode was asked to forget his second term ambition as the Lagos state governor by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu because he has deviated from the guidelines of the National Leader and of his refusal to follow the blueprint of the state development.

But this statement can be alluded to the governor's refusal to channel the Lagos state generated revenue to the Asiwaju's coffer for his own political use.

On the 2nd of October, APC primary election was held where the two contestants aspiring to be the party's flag bearer in the state governorship election were Akinwunmi Ambode, the Lagos state governor, and Sanwo Olu, the anointed  candidate of the APC National leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

To cut the long story short, Sanwo Olu was declared the winner of the APC primary election after every APC member was paid 15000 naira to vote for "the anointed one" and prevented those who refused to take the money to vote for Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday.

And despite the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party declared the election null and void, APC insisted that the election was valid.

Governor Ambode later released a statement on the 3rd of October, to accept the defeat and congratulate the winner of the election, Sanwo Olu.

But I think the way Africans act or think can be attributed to the effects of slavery in the continent where they were conditioned to think and act in accordance to instructions or orders.
If this horrible orientation is not changed Nigeria will never moved forward.

But will Nigerians orientation ever change?
