A Sincere Advise to Political Surrogates...By Smart Ajaja

The best way to sell a candidate to the electorates is to espouse the good qualities of that candidate and his positions on critical issues, and not by attacking his opponents, using unsubstantiated frivolities, the consequences of which could be fatal if the voters are enlightened enough to read between the lines.

It is sad that Nigerian politics is played on the "Ghana must go" mentality rather than principles, issues and ideologies, and this accounts for why there are so many fools with money occupying sensitive positions they know nothing about and what is expected of anybody in those positions.

I hope the people would be wiser in 2015 by not casting votes based on emotion associated with allegiance to blood, tribe, religion or religious denominations, salt, rice beans and Ankara gifts, but on issues like Healthcare, economy, Job creation and security, Gender equality and social security etc,

Let's do things differently for a change.
