Isaac Fayose’s Take: What Kemi Badenoch’s Success Tells Us About Democracy

 





Alright, let’s talk about something that’s sparking conversation right now. Isaac Fayose recently put it out there in a way that hit home. He pointed to Kemi Badenoch, a Nigerian-born woman who’s just clinched a major win with the UK’s Conservative Party. Imagine if her party takes the next election, she could become Prime Minister. 🇬🇧 And here’s what Fayose asked: Could something like that ever happen in Nigeria? 🤔


In the UK, it’s all about whether you can deliver. No need for political “godfathers” or backroom deals. Fayose nailed it when he said that there, no one’s asking about your background. It not about where you’re from or who you’re connected to if you’re good enough, you’re given the platform. Kemi’s rise shows that fair play still exists somewhere in the world.


But here in Naija? Fayose didn’t hold back, saying what we all know too well: win or not, in our system, if you don’t have the “right” people backing you, chances are your success might get snatched away. Here, democracy often seems like just a label we slap on for appearances. Even when people choose a candidate, the results might get flipped, and what should be a victory turns into just another disappointment. 🙄


Think about what it would mean for us if our own system was truly based on merit. Imagine a Nigeria where talent, vision, and hard work were enough to take you to the top without having to be in anyone’s pocket. Just like Fayose pointed out, it’s not about favoritism or endorsement in a real democracy; it’s about letting capable hands take the wheel.


Kemi Badenoch’s journey to leadership in the UK should make us wonder if we’re ready to rewrite our own story. Fayose’s right it’s time to ask if we’re willing to change the game, to let talent rise on its own and make our democracy truly reflect the people’s voice. ✊🇳🇬
