On the Need for a Just Choice in 2023 General Elections

Nigerians are faced with the option to make a just choice for the 2023 General Elections. Take a look at Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Ahmed Tinubu, and in your good conscience as a Christian, Muslim or ATReligionist, whom to vote as an act that God would approve. It is now between you and God in this matter.

The Plights of Anambra State

Anambra State, the light of the nation, under Governor William Obiano, appears to be receding into the pre-Peter Obi era when the facilities were decayed and insecurity was prevalent, and the land seemed cursed. Anambra State is no longer working as poor roads, erosion, dirt, insecurity and apathy reign supremely in all areas of the state. The Anambra Airport is a mirage and the planned Bonded  Terminal at Ozubulu is a dream as well as the Light Train system connecting River Niger with the former. Governor William Obiano should wake up from his sleep of poor leadership by renewing the contract with the citizens through a public apology laced with a new spirit to move Anambra forward in the direction of the ANIDS as conceived and enforced by Peter Obi. Anambra cannot work merely by tauting the so called 21/21 even as the state is losing its premier positions in indices of development as recorded during the Peter Obi era. Strides of development in Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha are now wishful thoughts as criminality, dirty environments, potholes, flooding, elephant projects, propaganda, abandoned projects (especially roads) and empty promises have become the perennials of the state. The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) should find ways of helping Governor William Obiano to touch base with Ndi Anambra by walking around the state to see the quantum decay of utilities, abysmal absence of utilities, and a dearth of required vision needed to sustain the Anambra paradigm of excellence by Peter Obi. We hope Governor William Obiano would do the needful and Anambra shall work again in the spirit of ANIDS and Ojukwu's vision for Ndigbo. Let the Light of the Nation shine again for us and the nation.

The 2019 General Elections

Nigerians ought to distinguish between political fixation and political awareness in their overall search for candidates, especially the forthcoming 2019 general elections. Political fixation causes unreasonable thronging to the ruling parties (PDP, APC, APGA, etc) at the expense of political awareness that should have helped the citizens to choose good politicians who are desirous of serving the people but are not known due to their less attractive parties —- non-ruling parties. Nigerians should break away from PDP, APC, APGA, etc, and vote new politicians in some of the newly registered parties. This is called a mass break from political fixation and an embrace of political awareness. For sure, if applied to the 2019 general elections, Nigeria would grow again and would also work again, and this might restore the hopes of millions of the citizenry who share with Achebe’s ‘There was a country’, and thus make Achebe to ‘smile’ that a country is evolving.

Nigerian nation in need of leadership

The Nigerian nation needs transformational leadership at all levels of the life of the country. Nigerians should appraise this difficult time for moral and ethical transformation aimed at making oneself and others better citizens and leaders of our time. Enlightened empowerment and attitudinal change are mostly needed now to arrive at a better Nigerian society where rule of law, godliness and hard work reign in the society. The Christian Legacy Initiative (CLI) enjoins Nigerians to stop complaining and do the legal and ethical needful in order to put Nigeria back on the track of greatness. All hands must be on deck!
