Another former president returning rather than mentoring. The bench never gets built.
Nigeria's political elite recycling the same faces for another electoral cycle reveals the bankruptcy of imagination plaguing Africa's most populous democracy.

This isn't political continuity. It's institutional stagnation disguised as democratic choice.
