January 15: A Precursor Of Neo-Democratic Era In Ekiti State – By Toyin Babalola
The
civil war pogrom that plunged the country into warzone cannot be
forgotten in a hurry in the minds of sane individuals who were alive to
witness it. Those who were born aftermath got the episodes via history
and knowledge transfer method. To many, war is a great disaster that can
be avoidable as long as all system is working effectively in a well
coordinated sphere.

Since
the military incursion, concerned Nigerians have strived to returned
power to the civilians “perhaps” we must have learnt our lessons in a
very hard way which triggered afterwards a speedy reaction for a great
change. But the antagonists of the war were helpless as all entities
working for the Government of the country was rebuffed by the enemies of
the country who never see good in the process of sustaining democracy
through the usage of democratic tools to stabilize the entire country.
All discerning minds would agree that the progress of democracy which is
the people’s oriented government that characterizes the country along
executive, judiciary and more importantly legislative arms of government
remains the best that could have upheld the unity of the country
without fail.

After the
war and series of military interference in governance, what was left is
to reunite the country using available instruments of state even as
it’s a general believe that any nation characterized with mistrust,
disloyalty and unpatriotic spirits would always be retrogressive.
Legislature therefore is the lasting hope of the restoration of
democracy and sanity into the ideal thinking abilities of Nigeria and
Nigerians in the wake of various realities. It should be noted that
Nigeria is a multicultural environment where her people are generally
sensitive to slightest bit of difficulties and may result to violence if
not adequately addressed.

The
labour of our heroes in keeping Nigeria as one and the aftermath of
restoration of hope to Nigerians remained gratified and should be
studied on daily basis not only for the present day generation but the
coming generations. How can they get familiar with series of events that
have happened in the past without history?

Among
other issues that led to the restoration of democracy is the
rejuvenation of equality and fairness. Evidently, the process of self
rule will effectively allow citizens to flourish and spur the confidence
in many to stay patriotic and committed to project Nigeria locally and
most essentially internationally.

The
restoration of constitutional guidelines became the biggest assets to
citizens as this however is the only means through the rights of
citizens, the limits, and how redress sought in court of law can be
upheld. The federal character is a similar approach that the democratic
system will give birth to a natural form of unity and peaceful
coexistence not minding the challenges we collectively fight together.

Ekiti
state has been a haven of hope of good governance especially with her
growing prominence as center of knowledge in pre-creation era. For this
legacy has rapidly assisted Ekiti to utilize the opportunities embedded
in the restoration of democracy to pursue a decent state that prioritize
the interest of her people. The existing joy in Ekiti State, (the land
of honour) is sequel to the harmonious fight for one Nigeria,
restoration of democracy and revitalization of our legislative
institution which is undoubtedly steps needed to be taken before the
hope of better Ekiti can be actualized in tandem.

Beyond
the restoration of democracy lies a coordinated environment for its
sustainability in the wake of various challenges that may emanate. The
legislative institution in the state is aware that the welfare of the
people is dependant on the activities of the legislators as their
actions or inactions will affect the lives of people both positively or
otherwise.

The present
leadership of the legislative arm of government truly understands the
pedagogy of legislation which has manifested in the lives of the people
of Ekiti positively within the shortest period of the emergence of the
Speaker, Rt Hon Adeniran Alagbada. The leadership of the state house of
assembly has since its emergence commenced a full scale restoration of
normalcy back to the state by ensuring that any form of anti democratic
process is rebuffed.

It
is of importance to stressed that a good legislation is a consequential
effects of smooth interplay between the executive and the legislature as
well as other tier of government. To restore sanity, our democratic
process implies the tiers of government will be well familiar with their
duties without one hindering the other in the sole interest of social
engineering and improvement.

The
lessons learnt from the 1967 civil war should remain in our minds that
only effective legislation can help prevent the country from such mishap
again. How can this play out is the aftermath of our love for a working
system that only focuses on renewing the trust reposed in her by the
people.

As one of the
renewed covenants discovered after the county nearly disintegrate, is
the power in unity. The unity of Ekiti should therefore be the sole
objective after reclaiming our lost glory from those ready to desecrate
our hard fought democracy through unwholesome acts. The state is working
as expected but will require full synergy at all ends to truly preach
the principles of oneness, democracy and good governance.
