 BALA MOHAMMED'S CANDOR: A LESSON IN STATESMANSHIP FOR THE SOUR GRAPES OPPOSITION By Okoi Obono-Obla  Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State deserves unreserved commendation for his rare candour and statesmanship. In an era where opposition politics in Nigeria has been reduced to perpetual wailing, cynicism and playing to the gallery, Bala Mohammed has risen above partisanship to speak truth to power in the most patriotic sense. Despite being the National Leader of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and a key pillar of his party's presidential ticket, Governor Mohammed did what very few Nigerian politicians dare to do: he publicly appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold, courageous and transformative reform agenda. This is leadership. This is maturity. This is putting Nigeria first. President Tinubu has done what others feared to do.

 Former Barack Obama advisor says U.S 'not ready' for woman president


Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, recently shared her perspective on Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign. 


She noted that Harris ran the strongest campaign possible in just 107 days after Joe Biden stepped aside, but the late timing made victory nearly impossible. Cardona argued that if Biden had withdrawn earlier, a primary could have produced a stronger nominee even Harris herself with more time to build momentum.


Cardona emphasized that Harris did many things right, especially connecting with young voters and excelling on social media, but ultimately the campaign was hindered by circumstances.


 More importantly, she believes Harris’s loss reflects a deeper cultural issue: America’s reluctance to elect a woman president. “As much as I want to say this country is ready, we are not,” she admitted, calling the reality painful but undeniable.


Her sentiments were echoed by Michelle Obama, who in a 2025 conversation with Tracee Ellis Ross said the nation still has “a lot of growing up to do.” Michelle pointed out that even many women remain hesitant to accept female leadership, as seen in Harris’s defeat. 


Despite endorsing Harris and drawing large crowds on the campaign trail, Michelle concluded that the U.S. is simply not ready to embrace a woman in the Oval Office, underscoring the ongoing challenges of gender and power in American politics.
