Electioneering campaign

 As INEC opens room for campaigns, what are the necessary requirements of political office holders and electorates?.

Firstly, they should be mindful of their utterances that won't jeopardise the peace and unity existing in the state. Each political party should tell electorates what they're intend to do, where problems lie and measures to apply in solving the problems. As a country that has attained close to 60years, I expect change in the thinking of the electorates. Not all those contesting know how to address the situation, they just know that our education is ineffective but lacks the technicality of giving remedy to the issue. Let's us give them thorough test not all about shouting at the rally but asking 'How' and I know with that many candidates will flop.

Nigeria  being the Giant of Africa needs to be walking not crawling. We can do it if we're ready to build a formidable state. Mind you, many don't know the functions of executive and legislature. They expect legislature to be performing the functions of executives like building of roads, bridges, gutters and others that they're not allergic to embark on. As a legislative member representing a constituency or district, his functions are to make laws, passing of budget and work towards bringing something tangible to his constituency by working in hand with executive to include that in the budget. It's for him to work for inclusion in budget while executive will embark on it.

Also, we've to shield the politics of money whereby money will buy the conscience of electorates in voting for wrong candidate who doesn't have the knowledge, technicality and clue to give good governance people deserve. Let's wake up from slumber, let's other African countries see us as a deterrent to them because Africa is the center piece of Nigeria foreign policy.  Those who are in abroad during this time, they know what their countries are facing but whoever promise to make change would be asked, "How?".

In nutshell, let's shun political enmity, Nigerians can't go the same way, party maybe different but let's work towards the same programme, and that's towards the growth and development of Nigeria. Let's get our brains functioning. May God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.
