If I were @YeleSowore @feladurotoye @MoghaluKingsley @atiku @obyezeks & others, I’ll recognize the coming election is not about rhetorics or playing to the gallery. You are in a psychological battle for the hearts and minds. This is a new terrain that requires strategic thinking.
What your administration will look like can be read already from your campaign position and utterances. The determination to win or the zeal to serve can be determined already from your approach to issues even before campaign and election proper.
You all (as well as other candidates I didn’t mention) are supposed to have assumed a position of a shadow government, engaging on issues, giving advisory on issues of state, getting involved and raising hope. This is not about party acronyms. It is about competency & capability.
When foreign envoys visit the incumbent President, them will be forced to visit your campaign offices as well and have a session with you based on your influence and impact already as it operates for familiarization. This is not a joke or campus campaign.
Every statement by the current administration must get a response from you and your structures. You must give the people a glimpse into what to expect and not expect anyone to be won by shakushaku and the noise during the campaign. You can’t be logical when emotions are high.
The is the wrong time to be out of the country or lay low when issues are mounting. The rhetorical responses as done by people like us should not be the position of a Presidential Candidate. We must be walked through your approach to Fela time situation & what your intents are.
In times of crisis, your position must be clear & your statements must be clear enough without ambiguity. This is how it is done. The hide & seek cum political correctness will make people stay action & reinforce the Devil they know. Thus, your inertia may sentence many to death.
If you must go abroad, let the people see you engage global leaders internationally. Let us see you in action before the Nollywood pretenses with N25 Milo during campaign. There is no time. Those who know that they will only get 3000 votes nationally need not waste our time.
One would have thought that anyone with the boldness to run for the highest office in the land would ambrace the idea of working to build connection, forming alliances and strategic engagement to convince us of your readiness to serve the people meaningfully.
#ButWhatDoIKnow? (apologies to @sobafemi) I can’t possibly know what it is like to be someone else, but it’s also true that no one knows what it is like to be me. A wise man once said that the litany of words become Assassins of Idealism when not backed by Action.
This is where I believe my team differs from the general thinking of the mob. We won’t say what we are not capable of backing up with effective action that will influence and impact lives even behind our immediate environment. Are these candidates connected at all to our pulse?
People should note that this is not recite science. Even #EndSARS have structures and strategic alliances across Nigeria thus its capability to effectively solve cases in record time. It is not about the noise but more about visionary leadership where everyone plays their role.
Power indeed belongs to the people and fundamentally, Change comes at the expense of Power and Power at the expense of Change. Whatever you can’t achieve without political power, (at least to an extent), you may not be able to achieve with Power & Politics.
End

Please don’t insult our intelligence, nobody is asking you to campaign while the ban is on...we expect that you show leadership. If younger people who are not contesting elections can stand in the gap for others, more is expected of you.
