Written by the Editorial Board of The Guardian Newspaper The public excitement that should have greeted the launch the other day of a critical segment of the promise of ‘change’ by the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration may have been adversely affected by a shocking discovery that part of the pitching speech by the president contained some lines from a 2008 speech of the American president, Barack Obama. But, there is no denying the fact that such a campaign is needed both substantially to make Nigerians and Nigeria better, but also symbolically, to advertise the way forward.

Party Mandate: After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives than after the previous midterm elections. 2. Contest: There is no serious contest for the incumbent pa...
