Prof Iredia says Politicians Should Focus on Governance Not Future Elections
The Chancellor of the University of Communication in Benin City, Prof. Tonnie Iredia, has urged Nigerian politicians to shift their attention from constant talk about upcoming elections to the real business of governance.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Thursday, Iredia noted that political leaders often abandon the responsibilities of governance to focus on elections that may still be years away. He stressed that this constant obsession with campaigns and future ambitions robs the people of good leadership and meaningful development.
According to him, politics should have clear stages, campaigns, elections, the establishment of government structures, and then governance. Unfortunately, many leaders skip the most important stage by staying fixated on power rather than service.
Iredia also called on the media to play a stronger role in redirecting politicians to their duties. He said the press must set the agenda by reminding leaders that the time for campaigning is over and the priority now should be projects, policies, and results that directly impact the people.
“This is not the time to talk about who wants to contest again,” he said. “What Nigerians need to hear are the things being done in government, not the next political ambition.”
Nigerian comedian Seyi Law takes to social media as he defends President Bola Tinubu. The comedian stated that the president has done a lot in his administration and claimed that Nigeria is safer and economically sound under his administration.
He then compared how things now to past years under the administration of others, and shared how things were bad. He claimed that now the economy is stabilized.
“Nigeria is safer now than 10 years ago. This government has killed more bandits than any government in Nigeria since the time of Jonathan. When last have you heard of bomb blast in Nigeria?”
