The time has come...

“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.” - Abraham Lincoln

Some of our leaders in power have been fooling us for years now by doctoring political elections and forcing their mandate on us such that we've lost confidence in elections in this country but I'm happy to announce that the tides are turning around for us in this country. Not everybody can be so easily bought, which was the case with Mrs. Ayoka Adebayo, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of INEC in Ekiti state, who resigned yesterday as a result of her not being comfortable with the way some elements who call themselves our leaders tried to manipulate the Ekiti elections as used to be the case with elections in this country. A copy of her resignation letter can be seen below:

The time has come when all of us who have been praying for Nigeria and who desire a change to stand up and say no to all forms of rigging and foiling of due processes in this country. Let us all be like Mrs.Adebayo and put the fear of God before us as we carry out our daily activities. If we can all imbibe this quality that has been found in Mrs.Adebayo, we'd attain Vision 2020 earlier in time. Mrs.Adebayo, heaven is proud of you with this action you've taken.
