2023: Vote for credible candidates, not political party – Group warns

A non- governmental organization, Advocacy For Good Citizenship and Peace, AGCP, has called on the Nigerian electorate to vote for candidates based on their personal attributes and not for political party considerations.

It also picked holes in the process through which Nigerian leaders emerge, alleging that it has caused lack of progress and development in the country.

Barrister Kelechi Mbam, National Coordinator of the non-governmental organization, said this at a public enlightenment in Abakaliki.

It further explained that it was high time the electorate voted for credible leaders of their choice based on their person and not based on political party for the progress of the country.

Also in a press briefing, Mbam disclosed that strategies and measures had been mapped out to sensitize Nigerians on the need to know what was expected of them, ahead of the 2023 general elections.

He pointed out that voting behavior would be mainly based on candidates who have impeccable character to uplift the living standard of the people.

In his words, “We are all aware that our dear country, Nigeria, will go into the polls come 2023 to elect another set of political leaders ranging from State to National Assembly members, as well as governors of States.”

But Mbam, who noted that as political parties have commenced the sale of nomination forms to elect their candidates, the electorate should be wary of dirty political activities capable of enthroning another circle of bad leaders into various offices.

He added, “The issue of placing political parties above individual pedigree is becoming overwhelming in our voting pattern.

“Na person, No Be party,” he warned.

Nigeria’s problems caused by the elite, – Amaechi

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has stated that the elite are the problem of Nigeria.

He advised citizens to vote the right people into leadership positions to fix the country’s challenges.

Amaechi gave the counsel on Tuesday at the 2022 World Press Freedom Day celebrations in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.

The former Rivers Governor also urged Nigerians to always hold politicians accountable.

“The problem of the country is not the poor man in Akwa Ibom or Rivers, in the South East or in the North. It is you and I, the elite,” he said.

Report by NAN reveals that Amaechi also dropped his take on the controversial issue of restructuring.

“Why you are hearing restructuring, it is because the elites’ consensus on sharing (the resources) is disappearing.

“It is because there is nothing to share again, we are broke. The problem facing this country is caused by the elites, including you”, he said.

Amaechi urged the media to help resolve the nation’s problems through objective, balanced and fair reportage.

Buhari Tells Party leaders To Join Hands And Defeat Insecurity

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged all political parties in the country to keep elections and election-related differences aside and join the administration’s drive to defeat insecurity in the country.

Buhari’s spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina said the president made the call at an Iftar dinner with members of the business community and the leadership of political parties in Abuja.

Femi Adesina quoted the president as describing insecurity as a ‘‘common enemy’’ destroying the country.

The president said: ‘‘Without mass, popular support to our hard working Armed Forces, it will take us much longer to finish off the successful war we are waging against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.

”Our country must be kept safe for progress and prosperity to be entrenched.

‘‘I look forward to seeing the reflection of this spirit in the relationship between the parties and the government, especially as the electioneering season will soon be on us.”

Buhari recounted that last week the National Executive Committee ( NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had a tremendous success at its meeting, ending with a clear message that the party would continue to push for the establishment of democratic principles at all levels.

‘‘Today, we can proudly say that we have a political system that allows political parties of all views and persuasions, reflecting the diversity of our nation to co-exist, and contest for elections at all levels of government without fear or institutional bias and pressure’’.
