There can only be two takes from the assertion by Bamanga Tukur, the Crown Prince of Nigeria’s ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that leadership in the party was “not for babies.” This is a clear echo of the wiseman – leader from the old African school of thought, that which produced the continent’s rich field of dictators who turned their post-colonial nations into one-party states. This came from the mischief lifted from the African traditional political systems that in Africa, wisdom resided in the old, and it flowed from top to bottom.
