This issue has been trending for quite sometime and has been heavily politicised and tribalised but i want to inform you that at one time such happened in American history
President Woodrow Wilson 28th american president nicknamed the school master in politics 1913-1921- A formidable politician.He was also a powerful intellectual and academic ( still America’s only president to date with a PHD).But sometimes in his presidency he suffered a massive stroke that completely paralysed the left side of his body
For six weeks Wilson was unable to speak.He could see out of just one half of one eye and his mental faculties were devastated
But no one could know.His wife and doctors decided to keep Wilson’s condition a secret for fear of consequences he could be relieved of his post
His wife carefully arranged meetings with him to silence for good the many wild and often unfriendly rumours of presidential disability
Before his ailment Wilson had a vision of a world without war and negotiated world war 1 peace treaty in Paris.The treaty was voted against in the US senate when his ailment was discovered
The consequences just as Wilson predicted-25million lives were lost just a generation later in world war 2, a war healthy Wilson might have prevented
Wilson won the Nobel peace prize for brokering a peace plan
Rather than tear ourselves apart or embark on jamboree of visits as it was during Yar’Adua’s regime,we should begin to strategise and forge ahead. Ailment is normal for a man above 70 and he and his family need our prayers and support
God bless Nigeria
i am not APC or PDP i desire the best for Nigeria
