Nigeria has made a positive impact in
the general elections withing the past 48 hours. There is unusual calmness across the land as
we continue to wait for the final out come of this election. It is
like the morning after a severe hurricane; A roaring silence if you
will. So what's the cause of this unusual calmness? The answer is
simply because unusual things are beginning to happen, Reality check
and sober reflection of some sort. No! don't jump into conclusion
yet, am talking about the quiet resolve of Nigerians, the civility of
the security forces, the voter turnout, the effect of technology, the
huge surprises and the final submission of the political office
seekers to the collective will of Nigerians. If this is sustained, no
matter the outcome of the election we as Nigerians are the ultimate
winners. The disorientation we may have experienced in this highly
contested election we hope will lead to a new orientation we've
craved for. Let's keep our fingers and maintain this civility and as
we appreciate the man who made it possible for the Democratic space
to be more widened and more tolerant of dissension, leading to a day
like March 28th, 2015.
Apart from the recent attack at a
Central Primary School in Alkaleri Local Government of Bauchi state
today- Sunday, the violence is minimal. Contrary to several people's
view.
Time will tell if the peace will last.
