Before Dream 2.0 is served up, voters like an honest account of what has materialised out of Dream 1.0. There ought to have been a division of labour between party and government. One in unceasing election mode, committed to spreading its geographical footprint, conquering non traditional territories in the South and East the other working diligently on governance and economic development.

If the government itself is always in campaign mode, things don’t work. Ministers camping for months in states that are going to the polls.
