Godfatherism , a plague in Nigeria politics , I didn't want to comment on this but it has been making waves in the media for few days now, and so I feel obligated to say my mind. When politicians support other politicians based on the fact that they are their godfathers, and not because of what the politicians have in mind to do for the nation, then, Nigerians need to be worried about the future of our once great nation. The honourable Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aishat Alhassan publicly humiliated herself and her godfather, Atiku Abubakar when she made a point of media attention. At least, this is how I see things. If she were to support him on the basis of having a master plan to bring back the former glory of Nigeria or a latter glory which we hope far surpasses the former, then, her support for Atiku would have been justified. But No, she will support him because he is her godfather! (Who does that?) obviously, in Nigeria politics. Your excellency sir...
