In over a year as a Senator, his contribution to the Nigerian Senate has been nothing more than his silent presence, the proceedings apparently too linguistically taxing for one who aspires to lead Edo State.

In times past, Edo State, like many others, has grappled with leaders who possessed the capacity to govern but lacked the will to serve the people’s interests. Now, in a cruel twist of fate, we face the prospect of a leader who not only lacks the will but is bereft of even the basic capacity to lead.
