The office of National Security Adviser is a very sensitive one in the United States of America, a country whose political system we like to mimic. The man who occupies it is usually a close ally of the President. They must have an identical understanding of what constitutes national security and threats to it.

A politician is someone who believes you don’t have to fool all the people all the time. Just during elections - Stanley Davies President Umaru Musa Yar’adua died two years ago. Most of the footprints he left have been virtually swept off the landscape by horrendous setbacks in governance, and it will amount to speculation over whether he would recognize the nation he left two years ago. To be sure, he was in large part an architect of much of what we have in our hands today, but would he approve of the structure he helped design? In a way, this would summarize the dilemma in the political life of late President Yar’adua: great vision, poor execution and severely compromised outcomes.
