General Abdulsalami has proved to the whole world that he is a courageous soldier. The benefit, the generality of Nigerian drive now from the present political structure at both local, state, and federal is something that one will for long continue to remember. As we can see Democracy in its infinite beauty has completely changed the tune of the music by bringing in people of transparent, honesty and integrity like Mallam Sahabo Mahmud to ensure equitable share of dividend of democracy to the people of Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State who came out enemas to vote for him despite the hot-sun witnessed on that faithful day. The Chairman, Yola South Local Government, who did not waist time toward making sure that his people benefit a lot from the dividend of democracy went straight to set up Committees at various levels that will go round all wards and districts information about what the people need. To make live more meaningful and ensure that the people of his Council are water borne disease free, the Chairman outrightly embarked upon the drilling of boreholes and wells at all the Wards and District that form the local government.
Nigerian democracy is nascent given the democratic structures and institutions put in place.
The operators of the system are acquiring new experiences to governance while at the same time adjusting to the wind of change in their respective offices. In an exclusive interview with our correspondent, Yusuf A. Salihu, in Yola, Adamawa State, the Executive Chairman of Yola - South Local Government relates his experiences in the third tier of government and expressed how best this level of government could be assisted to feel the impacts of the other two tiers of government. From all indications, Nigerians prefer democracy to military dictatorship because they are generally democratic. I am very optimistic that democracy will flourish and grow after long period of military dictatorship. With democracy in place, there have been positive changes in our social-system.
