Our democratic journey

The bell has tolled again on the regime of one of the (s)elected governors. The silver man himself has been removed from office joining his counterparts from Rivers,Kogi etal electing him as the 12th member of the disputed governor club.
Thumbs up to the Nigerian judiciary for another removal; on the flipside we still have the Professor still presiding over INEC and judjing from the happenings at the abuja bye election and others, the man, his team and the politicians have not learnt a thing yet and its still aluta continua as they attempt to impose their chosen candidates on the people.
Providing an addition twist to the unfolding story, some members of the Bayelsa house claimed to have impeached both the senate president, who was supposed to replace the governor in an acting capacity, and his deputy who would have taken over from him in the instance when he is unable tio assume the position and instead elected their own candidate as speaker cum acting governor.
While this scene acts itself out, our brothers in Zimbabwe with the worst rate of inflation in the world still await their election results days after the election which reportedly resulted in the incumbent Bob Mugabe being beaten by the opposition after over 20 years in power.
