 According to 23 European elections, sustenance Hein dekor coke, in governance and political in the background. Solutions is a political choice and not technical. It is not a matter of whether we should be sustainable, but whether we should be sustainable and that is by Gary Lawrence and American opinion poll star. Transparency, fairness and healthy competition are the elements of good governance. But every electoral session in Nigeria has shown the reverse. But recently, cases of hate speech and derogatory comments from presidential candidates have been the hallmark of campaign rallies. This show of disregard for the candidates reflects the deteriorating state of things, the lack of decorum from the candidates. This lack of character is a pointer to what lies ahead if such individual has become president or hold any office of importance. Furthermore, strategy and sustainable thinking are an integral part of governance. Both the tackless approach of these leaders has been proven by rash and unthinkable decisions made by some stakeholders. Recently, in tackling social economic issues in the estates, which will eventually lead to productivity and downturn and more chaos. In creating sustainability, there is a need to utilize scalability in identifying reasonable strategies that can be tailored to a particular need. But given bad political and corrupt conditions of quasi-democracy in this country, these leadership qualities are overlooked. Leaders who understand the rudiment of true sportsmanship are the best fit. But sadly, the most we are left with are folks who have zero empathy and understanding of how democracy works. Now let me engage my fellow advocates on some of these issues from recent electoral violence. Let me start with Solomon. You've heard of the recent killing of Mrs Victoria Chitex in the Labour Party woman leader in Kaduna state. I think that happened was it earlier this week or last week? Electoral violence and arrest. What can you say about this Solomon? Electoral violence attack on political candidates like the attack on the PDP, Gubernatorial Candidate in Lagos state. Same for APC, Gubernatorial Candidate in Ogun state. No, Oyo state, not Oyo state. And then the attack on the flag boys in Oshudi carrying the Labour Party. You see, no political parties in Moon to attack. So Solomon, what can you say about these things? Yeah, that is what I was saying earlier. One thing is this. Who must remember one fact for sure. Politics is a game of emotion for most people. And only few people play with the fact that they see it as a game of you win some, you lose some. So that is why now does this happen. People have challenged a candidate to talk to their followers. And I tell the people that there is an extent candidate could also go in talking to their follower. They have done that several. You can see most of the front-runner are saying that though they are not for violence, it is violent. That is why each and every one of us is a political actor. I like doing their part. Six societies are also doing their part. One thing we must remember is this. Look at the what happened in Calcuna as he rightly said. The woman, she is a woman leader in a world living a peaceful life among other things. When one person is killed in cases like this, a whole generation is being wiped off. And what we are having now is that we are having a turnover of issues of resentment. I told you already, if you look at the mood and the atmosphere of the country, it is tensed already. So we don't even need anything to make it more tense as we have it now. So one thing is this. All actors, religion leaders, political actors, they must start by doing this. And another good thing is that you remember the peace accord heavily led by the former head of state, General Abusalami Abubakar. What that committee said to achieve is that all politicians, that all presidential candidate must come together and sign a peace accord. Saying that whatever the outcome of the election, they will accept it. So I say people as politicians, as supporters of this candidate, want to must put that out is that oh, I asked commandment in the other time, you should always ask this question as a voters or supporters of any of this candidate. Ask yourself this question. What if my candidate lose this election? That is the question to start asking. If your candidate lose the election, could you take it as the wind of people that okay, the ambition of my candidate or the ambition of the candidate itself is not bigger than the nation as a whole. So political violence is something we need to work on and we should understand that most especially, I told you in the other time we have a new demographic that are coming in. Some of them were not even old enough in 1999 to see what the military could be like and what democracy is like now. Then we have the Gen Z generation and for the Gen Z generation, ecologists, they have the medium. They have the platform to hear their opinion. So this must also be guided so that we don't eat on the quality. Another thing we also look at is that when the era of fake news we must also add on to allow fake news to spread. Something will happen. People will just make it blow it out of proportion before you know a lot of violence here and there. So these are things we need to look at. Media houses, political actors, civil society group and I see the videos in our own ways we must make sure that the quality is not being eaten more than it is now. Thank you very much to the one. I really love your deep thought and insight to this. Indeed, made you so of the political matter, Viktor Achintes, rest in peace. How important is the utterances of political candidate? Viktor, you said some things about responses and the many on dispositions of political candidates. You know, certain political candidates they neglecting another political candidate. It's common, you know the person I'm referring to even we will not mention his name but you know it's common not just him even some other party members too from other parties spoke spacing, you know attacking other people. It's not necessary. So what can you say about this? What's your advice to political candidates and their followers? Addressing people in public spaces with Decorum. Well, you know, I'm not going to be on national TV to be advising people that I believe they should pretty much have an understanding of you know fundamental things and you don't advise behavior right? It can only be corrected. And that is a deep reflection right of behavioral pattern right of the quality of your thinking because why should we move from debating issues to debating people? You know this person said this this person did that oh that one that said he's doing this is this what we're going to you know so that's really not why we're here and that's why I pretty much and I must pretty much give it to Mr. Peter Ruby in terms of bringing in some bit of quality into the conversation and we just have to say it we just have to be very it's I'm not trying to be affiliated to any party like we said earlier it's a win for Nigeria and it's super important for us to raise the bar in terms of the quality of conversation I mean electoral period is one of the most critical things happening now is conversations right you go to newspaper stand is conversations you go to the market women is conversation you know you I mean everybody's having pockets of conversation but what is the quality of those conversations and we must begin to raise our level of thinking so that what comes out from us would be up there I mean when you look at the the U.S. elections and you know the democrats the probably I mean the quality of conversation it's it's high up there right so again you can't give what you don't have so it's because again if you put when you also put your ear to the ground and listen to some of our young people the quality of conversation it's it's poor right so and that's why the whole this whole tantrums I mean tantrums is not something that is avoidable in politics right but there are levels to it we must leave people and debate critical issues or what have you done in your eight years in government let's debate the issue let's not debate the person so this is not the time for political aspirants to throw tantrums at people this is the time to begin to take issues head on and debate issues well thank you very much you you kind of commanded people with these response to issues same to I also commend the pdp candidate too the little time you see him speak you don't see him attacking persons just like people will be they will attack the issue so I hope other candidates will learn from this candidate that you don't spend your time denigrating denigrating other people or talking down on other candidate you're not better than them you guys are having the same equal opportunity convince us why you want to be president don't spend your time saying things that are not relevant and talking down on people so Mr Sage I'm going to ask you what's your opinion on blockage of access to public spaces for campaigning you know what is happening in some states now you see some some political opponents you have misunderstanding in this situation okay we don't have states we have field dumps we have what okay the point is this is the point is you this is wrong if you have field dumps I own this space you can come here wide wide west are we the wide wide west it's actually something like that you know it's very unfortunate yes what's going on some people own these spaces they're paid for it they they earned it they own it you can't just hand in kutu yeah you know you can't just walk in and say you know they decide what goes on here so I'm sorry you can't use but but it's not a good thing right well you can't use the thing that I've already bought you know I mean this thing you have bought it's not something you should be able to have bought in the first instance but you've decided that it is yours you know and so this was what I'm trying to make you see the the the mindset the futility exactly the futility of doing political business in this country it is insane because the same people who want to come here and use this place also own some other place somewhere exactly you see so this is what it is we have we have freedoms that country has been carved we're not educated enough to understand what it is we have you know this is somehow some brothers some days ago and they were saying they said lokachimulkin gwangkwaso you know and I wanted to stop but what what I was saying during the rain of gwangkwaso in Kano I actually wanted to stop them and tell them no no gwangkwaso wasn't raining over you he was serving you but you know but we don't get it so but we think political office means leadership I mean it means rulership rulership it is to a proper it is not necessarily that so the whole this is this is structural you know this figuration of how things are meant to be and how things are you know so when you say that my thought is somebody owns here so I mean you can commit sorry anyway just before I go back to Yuseleman I want to ask these two gentlemen here what's your view on these g5 governors you know we have a certain you know you said I'm just looking to what you said that the opposition is the opposition seem to have his house divided divided this book you now have a set of governors that call them that is the river states or your states what again any good states which other state again I think there are five of them Benway Benway and which can you remember the last states I think one not on state also or your state I think that's what you mentioned or your okay if you remember the last one now this this set of governors they call yourself the g5 governors in pdp and now they say okay they are not just g5 governors you know because they have other persons of interest in the group people like Irodelify or say the former governor of a gt state people like I think chip body judge is part of them now they are now calling them say the integrity group oh my god now do you think they are actually standing for fairness justice with respect to their party representation of every member or are they actually going to be like a caterpillar not a pillar personally for this 2023 election but by appending integrity to them to their group you know has just defeated I just realized that there's really nothing to talk about because apparently I don't think there's any integrity in Nigerian politics there's really basically none of it but their their complaints are valid now they are their complaint what they are asking for is valid you know if you were in a party you know you should step out of the party step back but that's integrity you know integrity is not foiling you know just being in a house and then pulling it apart pulling it down you know so that's not integrity that's why he's got tantrums that's that's immature behavior you know so my thought is if you think you have integrity you step back you step down you know I can't deal with this you know you show your integrity now but say you know what I didn't get it I'm going to scatter it I don't understand what's going on okay what about your I pretty much going to tell you to say it pretty much I mean because everything has an agenda what's the what's the what's the motive you know there's just a lot of or trio motive you know with everything happening right and it's a fundamental problem right so integrity is key and I mean if you have it so so again I'm just going to tell you to us what Samia said is captural and I'm standing with him okay now so the man we'll random with you now this issue of sustenance in governance you see this mad rush of final moment action by some political or some from for some governors let me use them the outgoing governor the former immediate past governor of Oshun state right you know he employed over 12,000 persons right I'm wondering why did you wait the last minute if you did that and then the new governor Jackson Adeliki had to fire them and said this is not sustainable and then same in wiki river states where he appointed over 50,000 is it assistance and I asked to want to watch need is that when you are even leaving office are creating is this not like creating a problem for the next administration so where they spoke to sustenance what do you think about this are they just exercising their good will or their actions are politically minded politically motivated right yeah why why is this decision is a past political indication for the next government that is coming in at the same time too you see there is a lot of most of these decision are shredded in a lot of politics on that side and I think one of the unfortunate thing that happened in Oshun state was that I think there is no even a transition committee that is the coming government you don't even know where to start from they just started whatever they meet on ground they start with it and Oshun as it is today it's as a it's very unfortunate because they see have a case in the court so the essence now is that whatever but now I give a key will do from now to whatever happen in the election in the tribuna down to to the supreme court so we pray that that same thing is not being reversed again and that's one thing which you do as a people and as a nation who will start building this country around institutions not around people that is what you get when you build policies around people that is the next person will just come in and say oh you are going oh you are fired and you get them so what we need to down to which you start building things that if you are employing you employing because the state government workforce need it if you are also installing people you do that because there is a need for that but when you do this out of political view among god that is who are only creating program for the government that is coming in and the government that also come is you also look at it look at the merit of the appointment if it has merit you should not just throw it away because we don't like the face of whatever must have do with that so in essence my own idea is this if we can build our policy around institutions there won't be need for any human interference even if you either you like the face of whoever did it or not so that's my take thank you very much Suleiman what you said is very important build institutions not humans not making humans stronger than the persons stronger than the institutions because government should be of laws rather than of men institution will not live any human thank you very much so and the other I'm going to say is that for to our political candidate when you open your mouth you tell the world who you are this is from a sage Rich Mondial Johnson of blessed memory so babatenebu babatiku pitobe and kwaquansu who really are you speak and tell us who you are the end
