WITH the general elections now only three weeks away, it seems altogether right that the qualification of anyone aspiring to the office of President should agitate our minds.
Except that, in the typically Nigerian way, the agitation is overshadowed largely by politics, and is not focusing on the issue, so vital to the national interest, as to the qualification or qualities appropriate in a person to govern our affairs and our lives for four years, using “qualification” in the sense defined in the dictionary to mean “that which qualifies or fits a person for any use or purpose, as for an office, or employment.”
So defined, it includes a person’s background, antecedents, character, etc.
Among well-informed Nigerians, it seems to be generally agreed that a primal reason for the lack of good governance in the country is bad leadership owing, in the main, to poor and inadequate qualification and background prescribed by our Constitution for the presidency.
Need for, indeed the imperativeness of, a good education and background required for presidential leadership.
