No government can be long secure without a formidable
opposition (Benjamin Disraeli – 1st Earl
of Beacons-field).
The absence of opposition encourages complacency. It cannot be safe for any government to exist
without opposition. The ground for
tyranny is watered when there is no place for opposition. When this occurs, the
rule of law becomes the prime casualty, with society becoming unsafe for the
leader and the led.
In every country, there exist two major pathways; the government in power and the opposition. Opposition should be given free space to
bloom and treated with respect.
