My involvement in the political process is another call to duty and my desire to give back to Nigeria a little of what it gave me, by joining hands with others to provide viable options to our fellow citizens and evolve social and economic policies that are sustainable and all inclusive, by a caring leadership that is dedicated to the efficient management of the economy, social justice and individual liberty. Such leadership is not restricted to government alone, we all have roles to play -- the National Assembly, the judiciary, the security services, the press and civil society groups -- to ensure checks and balances, protection of all under the law, and accountability. If some politicians find it more convenient to drag public discussion towards the weaknesses of Nigeria, in order to hide their incompetence and divert attention from their theft of public funds, it is the responsibility of the press to steer the debate to policies and programmes, notwithstanding the diversionary self-destruct antics of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
