Fallout from the UK Elections



The following is my take from the just concluded UK Elections. 

From the report by Reuters I learnt that the Labour Party leader, Ed Milliband, phoned Cameron to concede and then resigned as party leader. . . 

In addition, . like Labour's Miliband, Liberal-Democrats leader Nick Clegg and UKIP leader Nigel Farage resigned as party leaders. . That's taking responsibility for failure. 

I am awaiting reports of those who will decamp to the Conservative Party and yet others who will, in the manner of our Nigerian compatriots, visit #10 Downing Street in the dead of the night. 

I have just read Olusegun Adeniyi's recent write-up in Thisday titled "Inside the PDP Tower of Babel." I fully align with his opinion that ALL OF US should encourage the PDP to survive and succeed as a vibrant opposition party. However in line with my comments above, I do not see how that can happen when it is saddled with the current leadership. 

Oh Nigeria! We truly hail thee.
