Star picture of today

By Bukola Lasode
Ghanian first President and pan African, Kwameh Nkrumah and the president elect in Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo
Ghana’s first President and pan African, Kwame Nkrumah and the new President elect of Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo.
When is this going to be recreated in my country?
Nigeria keeps recycling geriatric leaders like our current President.
He came to government 30 years later with his pack of age mates.
Yet a President who refused to develop himself and listen to creative advice from his aides.
For example, he resisted devaluation at the right time only for him to capitulate later to the vagaries of the world order, when the damage is already done.
Here is a President who has not inaugurated many government boards and parastatals, yet blaming past presidents.
It is a case of what you don’t have you cannot give.
Welcome to gerontocracy in naija.
