Democracy is representative leadership, it’s leadership based on the people’s choice. Democracy isn’t leadership by imposition but selection through a credible, free and fair election.
The battle for the throne in kogi state governorship election has condescended to the abyss of ossified strategies of capturing power. Politics is a game that requires mental assertion to unravel the complexities and hurdles against capturing power.
Kogi state elections epitomizes greed and an unwholesome quest towards maintaining an interest inimical to the collective interest of the electorates. There is a battle towards personal aggrandizement not a showing forth of a blueprint towards entrenching state progress and rapid development.
If the only pictures the current ruling party in Kogi state have to show as indicators of a successive regime after eight years of rule is a flyover, it means the state lacks unaccountability and the allocations from the coffers of the federal government to the state to entrench development is laying fallow in individuals account. There is no further permutations to that.
Politics of all inclusiveness simply means overcoming individualism for our collective good. Kogi east is a major factor in the politics of the state, but individualism has divided our strength and reduced us to the mercies of the minority. I am still seeing that tendencies.
Adoza in his quest to plant a successor failed to understand the calculations of politics towards solving political riddles. We saw the outright electoral malpractice during the APC primaries to disenfranchise Muri Ajaka from the race. The political strategies deployed is laughable and does not capture modern day political sophistication. What a primitive display, at least if we are corrupt we should be intelligently corrupt instead of a state governor falling cheaply to digging a trench on a major road because he is against the rise of Natasha to the political corridors. This can’t be politics but childishness.
The man who has secured the anointing to emerge governor in Kogi state under the platform of the ruling class, is a political novice that should be returned to the kindergartens of the political class to learn the political ABASADA.
Failure to yield to my advice and the mistake to emerge a governor in the state is nothing but the furtherance of the current movie playing out in kogi state titled the white lion episode.
May God deliver the state from the mistake of electing fashionistas to Lord Lugguard’s house, people who think Politics is about moving round in royal purples. People who are myopic in visionary leadership but condescended to the politics of the uncivilized.
I think the horse can bring back the victory. But social media noise is not the way to go but a serious calculation towards achieving an all inclusiveness.
Good morning Nigerians and kogites.
