Everywhere there is the mood for change and the determination to change: change corrupt leaders; change incompetent leaders; change bad attitude; change everything negative for everything positive. In short, change has come. What is happening in the country is unimaginable. The awareness and level of mobilisation is simply unprecedented. The world now knows thatthe Nigerian public is not docile and that it can react to impunity and insensitivity of the leadership to the yearnings and aspirations of the led. in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). At the national level, the party tried and succeeded in excluding everyone from contesting for presidential primaries except the president. At the state level, there is no single state branch of the party that is not dogged with crises as a result of the mismanagement of the party primaries, such that, today, the PDP’s worst enemies are neither the opposition nor even the voters but it’s members. How they handle their internal crises will determine their showing at the general election. What we are witnessing now is challenging the very roots of the PDP’s long-held hegemony, as the conflicting interests that came together under its banner in the closing days of military rule unravel. while the rest of the world is enjoying a decrease in the price of petroleum products due to lower prices in the international market, here we are being asked to pay more due to a phantom “subsidy”.
