For the record, I find the whole debate about kingpins, I don't know if there are queen pins, pun intended, very ephemeral. It is certainly very preposterous for a leader who has a position of responsibility to spend his waking and sleeping hours plotting about how to be an ethnic political demigod rather than plan how to better the lot of the electorate.
I am in no way opposed to the expression of ambitions. If anything, I believe our politicians, like every one of us must demonstrate ambitions. But I believe that if those ambitions do not find meaning and expression in the lives and opportunities that are available to ordinary citizens, then it's all a zero-sum game.
