Choosing Between A Corrupt But Competent President And An Incompetent President Sometime ago, I had a very unproductive argument with some friends. I was asked to choose between a corrupt but competent president and an incompetent president. I refused to choose either. But, seriously, an incompetent president would bring down the whole house without even realising what he had just done. It’s only an incompetent president that would withdraw policemen from a governor because the governor has appointed someone he didn’t like as Emir of Kano. It is only an incompetent president that would send policemen to take over the Emir of Kano’s palace because he didn’t like the Emir, preposterous as that may sound. It is only an incompetent president that would shut down an airport because he wanted to truncate the activities of opposition governors. It is only an extremely incompetent president that would think he could bribe members of the houses of assembly of opposition states to impeach opposition governors or even give the governors the option of declaring for the PDP if they wanted to escape impeachment, as was done to Governor Murtala Nyako. And a president would need to be extremely incompetent to think that he could encourage the impeachment of all opposition governors and nothing would happen, even if that was obviously dumb. It takes extraordinary incompetence to think that you could organise the impeachment of governors Nyako, Al-Makura, Amaechi, Kwankwaso, Okorocha, Oshiomhole, AbdulFatah and Ajimobi, all of them opposition governors, and nothing would happen. As I write this, members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, who should be answering questions from the EFCC if the country were working for their role in the N30 billion bond, are being prepared to impeach Governor Al-Makura from Abuja.
