It’s been two years since the April 17, 2011 presidential elections that ushered in President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, but the concomitant tragedy or ‘collateral damage’ that berthed Mr. President’s ascendancy is still a bitter taste in the mouths of many Nigerian families whose graduate sons and daughters were brutally murdered during the electioneering process, while they were undergoing the mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme in some States in the North. We recall that sequel to that election, over 15 serving corps members were brutally murdered in States like Bauchi, Kaduna, Kano, Niger, Gombe, etc., amongst other innocent Nigerians. It will be recalled that most of the slain corps members were dutifully engaged by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the conduct of that epoch-making elections, the success of which many have attributed to their involvement and immeasurable contributions to the process.
