A political economist has asserted that the recently concluded Osun State governorship election demonstrates that wrongdoing has finite duration.

A former presidential candidate commented on the Osun election results, suggesting that the outcome demonstrated the finite nature of wrongdoing and that even flawed agents can serve to check what he termed a particular momentum or direction.

He argued that righteous governance strengthens nations whilst its absence brings dishonour, and cautioned that those dismissing public discontent and economic hardship whilst relying on self-serving narratives risk encountering the resentment of ordinary citizens.

He noted the pain experienced by citizens who watched their once-respected nation’s standing decline, emphasising that such consequences are substantial and consequential.

He stressed that Nigeria’s importance and the legacy of its founding generation are too significant for citizens to yield to self-centred political actors.
