If only the citizens opinions count probably this country would have been better than it is now because there are better people among the citizens but you know that in Nigeria if you don't know people that know people you can't get to the top not to talk of becoming someone people can vouch for.
What we have now is not a democracy but a crazy demo and I am sure we are yet to see what else is coming because those politicians don't want neutral person they will always choose someone they can control and corrupt as time goes on.
As in ehn... they want people who will only guarantee their power and resources. That is why they will do everything that they can to ensure that they remain in power. Either directly or indirectly.
