Gbenga Daniel, the former Governor of Ogun State, has given advice to Nigerians on how to vote in the approaching 2023 elections.
He asked Nigerians to vote with their heads rather than their stomachs when casting their ballots.
On Tuesday, the former governor addressed this at FreedomOnline’s annual lecture in Lagos, themed ‘Nigeria’s political indices: Bright or grim future?’
He believes that questioning people running for political office in 2023 is the best way to bring the country forward.
Politicians must not only make promises, but also explain how they will be fulfilled, according to Daniel.
He said: “The next election (2023) offers us an opportunity to rewrite the destiny of this country. The decision we make next year will be with us for arguably eight years. That’s long enough to make the country better or make it worse.
“We don’t need Powerpoint presentations and well-written manifestos that end up in the dustbin of history.
“We need leadership that, as they say in the mathematical parlance, ‘show workings.’ Anybody can write and make promises, but we have to be intentional in ensuring that we elect those who know how to bring to life these visions.
“If someone promises to create television, don’t just clap, ask the person questions on how he intends to do that.
“But again, we would have lost the morality to question our leaders properly if we continued to indulge in the menace threatening our democracy: vote-buying.”
