Statecraft: Strategies For Political Longevity

Although, using Nigeria's political and developmental history, in the author's imaginary creation, Statecraft is a grand strategic plan initiated and nurtured overtime and clinically executed by some concerned citizens of a nation. When they first met in the university, their country was dangerously drifting into anarchy and doom due to political and ethnoreligious divisiveness. Calling themselves the patriots or the partizans and their umbrella body, the Concerned Citizens Watch Organization (CCWO), those youths resolved to salvage their country not only from ethnoreligious conflicts but the political mismanagement of their extant national, human and natural resources, and reposition it. To democratically defeat the political old guard at the polls, the CCWO employed a combination of civil and uncivil designs. The organization thus hatched and developed its plot, which encapsulated thoughts, plans, strategies, and actions to prepare its political arm. To do this, the founding partizans patiently spend the time and space of their youthful years to also galvanize and mobilize the people. Then in its apogee, the CCWO's political arm, in its first attempt at the polls, applied the well-articulated and rehearsed intriguing tact. It was a perfected political and strategic crafts that achieved unprecedented election upsets, never before witnessed in the history of elections. Most of its unknown candidates effortlessly defeated their very many established and tested political opponents. Indeed, the organization's stunning electoral victory shocked many and disproved watchers' permutations. Truly, Statecraft was CCWO's application and execution of a compendium of well-designed survival strategies that satisfied unexpected overhauls. They could spur determined patriotic youths and adequately serve as panacea to freeing countries and peoples by genuine patriots frustrated and disenchanted with the status quo. Statecraft will surely find relevance in politics, administration, and management.
