NIGERIANS DESERVES THE BEST FROM THE POLITICIANS.
What is worth doing is what doing well!
The Civic role of a dynamic leader is to offer the best to his followers. As a matter of fact, reverse is the case as our leaders are now offering the best for themselves in terms of acquisition of exotic cars and great edivice.
As 2027 general elections approaches across the country, the politicians had been promising to do the best for the members of the public.
The truth of the matter is that some of these politicians will definitely change their locations. Only their political loyalists and associates will have access to them.
Those who had gone through agony in the course of casting their votes will eventually undergo hardship for another four years.
Everyone deserves the dividends of democracy from our leaders; rather than adopting selective generosity policy that usually work in favour of their political associates.
The politicians are expected to do the best when they are occupying the seat of authority so as to pave ways for their lineage.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a vivid example while he was appointed as the first premier of the Western Region in 1954.
The indigents were immensely benefited from his free education.
Many of his infrastructural projects are durable and visible across the country till now!
Truly, power is transient and whatever you might have done as a leader will speak volumes when you are no longer on the seat of authority as a generalismo.
I therefore, implore our political leaders to have altruistic mentality so as to proritise the needs of the masses.
