Kaduna train attack – 100 days in captivity by Kola King
The 100 days ritual has become a common practice among public office holders during which they give an account of their stewardship and enunciate their vision and plans for the future. The 100 days tradition was first started in the United States under the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression in 1933. Roosevelt first used the term on July 24, 1933 “to refer to the exactly 100 days (apparently a coincidence) that elapsed between the opening of the special session of the 73rd Congress on March 9 and its closing on June 17, a session that produced a record-breaking volume of new laws.” The “15 major bills passed by the U.S. Congress in FDR’s first 100 Days was widely seen then (and since) as a historic achievement.”
Most often the first hundred days in the life of an administration is a clear pointer of what the direction of an administration will look like and how it will deliver on its plans and promises and how it may eventually end up. As they say, morning shows the day. This 100 days ritual which originated in the United States of America has since been adopted in most parts of the world by political office holders.
