Yesterday, April 6th, I was invited to be a pert of the panel for the Oredo LGA elections debate in Edo State organized by CLEARVIEW ON CIVIC RIGHTS INITIATIVE alongside some of the great men in the hems of political affairs in the state, a debate which started at 10:00 Am, and I particularly felt embarrassed when the candidates of Labour Party and the PDP showed up at the debate, only to hear that the ACN candidate for no genuine reason wasn't coming. Blaming it on the fact that the organizers of the debate did not obtain an imprimatur as a way of permission from the ACN state cordinator or Secretary General or whoever it might be. I must comment to say that it is a total ignominy, pitiably pathetic that those who are vie to be leaders [oh sorry political office holders] in our society today are not updated on the current status of politico-democracy, where FEARLESS has become the anthem of the people and performance has forged the yearnings and aspirations of the common man. The golden question is, if an aspirant cannot respect the people while he is yet an aspirant, what is the proclivity that he will not be a tyrant if he emerges [which has a possibility of 17 out of 1 billion votes]? please be informed "Nigerians are no longer after money for polls, they need the sincere dividends of democracy".
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
