Nigeria and the coming 2019 elections... Who will get your vote in 2019? Pt 3
This is the last of this series of "who will get your vote in 2019?"
The last 3 are part of the old cabal and we all see them as being one and the same individuals who will never stay in the shadows.
Kingsley Moghalu. This aspirant is a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. A political economist, lawyer and former United Nations official, is a Professor of Practice in International Business and Public Policy at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He is the Founder of Sogato Strategies LLC. H, like the others is seeking to bring their wealth of experience to the the number one position in the country.
Bukola Saraki. This aspirant is the son of Kwara's most influential political family. A Nigerian politician who has been President of the Nigeria's Senate since 2015 was previously Governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2011. He was first elected to the Senate in April 2011, representing the Kwara Central senatorial district, and re-elected in 2015.
He is seeking to attain the highest political office in the land after having started from the Governorship to the Senate.
His tenure as been shrouded with various corruption allegations, but he still remains the senate president despite still having cases in court. Talk about the Nigerian system of governance.Donald Duke. This aspirant is the former Governor of Cross River State from 1999 to 2007. He is known for the great works he did while he was a governor. He created the idea of the Obudu Ranch International Mountain Race and the race grew to become one of the most lucrative mountain running competitions in the world under his stewardship.
He is also credited for his fight for democracy.
These last 3 are all well made men and have so many accolades to show for their time in public office. In all, there are 12 of these men seeking to attain the number one office in the land and an incumbent struggling to retain his seat.
I believe that we will be seeing these aspirants coming up with various strategies to woo the people. Nothing is too much to give for the attainment of any political office in Nigeria and with this being the number 1 position, we will be intrigued.
2019 is fast approaching to many of us, but for these politicians, it is already here and they are putting no stops to make sure they get the number 1 position.
Hope for the best for Nigeria.🙏
I will wait to hear their manifesto as well as clear and detailed map on how to turn the fortunes of Nigeria about before I will even start looking for my voters card. If they do not have anything in the briefcase to turn the country around, they should do and come and go.
Good idea, although manifestos are mostly a bunch of lies, it helps to see what they have to say.
Stay awesome!
This old cabal always have a way of "recycling" themselves into power, I just hope that Nigerians will wake up and people's vote will actually count. Great post
We should really say no to recycled leadership.
Stay awesome!
I love the classification amongst the aspirants
Firstly, I will strike out the old cabals
Secondly, Manifesto and Electoral debates is pertinent. If you recall vividly, the Incumbent president evaded last Presidential debate despite his party being the top most opposition.
What do we have today?...PMB is living exactly on the opposite of his campaign promises.
Lol!!!
A Youth should be the winner.
Not just any youth listed there but one with vision and mission clearly defined and feasible
Kogi State have a young governor but ungovernable and worst amongst his contemporaries
Having a young persons as a president will be cool, but we need young and serious minded youths who are not easily swayed. A good example of a young and stupid governor is the Kogi State governor and I hope the people make better choice next time.
Stay awesome!
Nigeria is a country of huge opportunity. It is still developing. So, choose the best one from the bests. Wish you you best of luck.
Thanks for the best wishes.
Stay awesome!
Youth Revolution for life,we need a new turn.
the boss @ejemai thanks for this short profile about this guys. i just hope nigeria and nigerians get better this time around. our judgement about who is to lead should not be clouded by religion or tribalism but based on something much more. who is capable enough to take this country to the next level. well, i just have this soft sport for Donald Duke,thats not to say i will vote for him. i just want whoever will perform and will take Nigeria to the next level to emerge as the president. thanks boss.
We will get better and as the years roll in, the process will be better and well thought out. Making the right choice as to what leader we will vote is important. Seeing the shift in givernance around the world, we are becoming better informed.
Stay awesome!
How I wish we the Nigerian youths will take our advantage of number and vote out all those cabals who have been in power since 1960.
Please let every Nigerian youth stand up now to secure a future for ourselves and our children, get your PVC now!
I believe we can
