By Kelechi Mejuobi Expectedly, the activities preceding the next general elections in the country is indeed coming with the inevitable trappings.

Read MoreImo 2019: Okey Ezeh and big question of the time
Every leader grapples with the big question of the time. Success, therefore, is determined by the extent to which he addresses it. An oratorical leader – a Cicero – is very much unnecessary to a people at war, just as a peaceful society should have no business electing the Hobbesian Leviathan whose calling is fulfilled only in a chaotic atmosphere where life is nasty, brutish, solitary, poor and short. The Machiavellian Prince became a necessity when Italy sorely lacked leaders with ingenuity in statecraft. In South Africa, Albert Luthuli, a…
