With the declaration of the Senate that the Vice President should be sworn in as the substantive acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the apprehensive state of the people of the country was final laid to rest. I must quickly add that even though I felt a tinge of disappointment, thanks to the rather dawdling and surreptitious reaction of the upper legislative arm of Government, I also admit that the situation required a quick fix; one which might not solve the problem permanently, but would at least put the minds of the people of Nigeria at rest and progress the economy of the nation.
That said, it became necessary for me to ask some questions and hope that somehow, somebody from somewhere will give answers to the questions.
1. Now that we have an acting President do we also have an acting Vice President?
2. Will our President ever return?
3. How much goodluck does Goodluck Jonathan have?
4. Can we say that our Senators deserve any kind of commendation?
5. Do you expect any difference between President Yar'adua and President Jonathan's Presidency?
6. Do you expect more changes in the wake of the dropping of the Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Micheal Aondoakaa to the ministry of special duties?
7. Will Goodluck Jonathan contest for the 2011 general election?
I hope by now you get my point? There are a large number of questions begging for answers. Imagine if for any reason, President Goodluck Jonathan cannot discharge his duties, who will assume the position of the President of Nigeria? I cannot imagine how long it will take for that issue to be resolved, considering how long it took the Senate to make a proclamation for Goodluck Jonathan to become the acting President.
Only time will answer some of the questions but it is clear for all to see that once again, somehow, Nigerians have adopted the quick fix solution.
