Democracy! – Adewale Sobowale

Just felt I should say my bit about the Osun state election.

We should not forget the fact that democracy is a game of numbers. The operative sentence is:

The rule of the people by the people for the people!

It doesn’t specify education, wealth or even common sense.

As long as a candidate is popular enough to win most of the votes, he becomes elected.

That’s why political scientists say a people deserves their leader.

That’s also why most countries in the advanced world do not have educational qualification for candidates seeking elections.

Having said that, I don’t believe the governor to–be will be so foolish not to consult those who know better than he does.

I say congratulations and wish him the very best.

On PObi I stand!
