The coming election is Obasanjo’s last dance.
He has the option of either entertaining the audience and receiving a standing ovation or annoying the audience and being booed and shooed off the stage. The president should not be deluded for one moment by the fawning adulation of his party leaders that he is the father of modern Nigeria. He needs to rise above partisanship to be the statesman that he once was by ensuring that the elections are free, fair and credible.
