THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has finally fixed September 21 next year for the governorship election in Edo State. We pray and hope 2024 is not another dismal year for democracy in Nigeria. We sincerely wish that Edo State, the valley of dry bones, shall rise again.
Like Ezekiel, as recorded in the Holy Book of Ezekiel 37, 1-10, Comrade Prof. Sylvester Odion Akhaine, a Professor of Political Science and Comparative Politics – currently in the service of Lagos State University, would be prophesying and breathing life into Edo State dry bones – and they will come alive.
