Elect people with capacity to deliver, says Fashola

[ad_1]

The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola has called on Nigerians to elect credible Nigerians that have the capacity and character to deliver dividends of democracy.

The minister also urged the electorates to worry less on religion, adding that religion was a private matter and should be done either at home or at religious centres.

When speaking yesterday in Lagos at the 2022 The Niche Annual Lecture on the subject of “2023 Elections and the Future of Nigeria’s Democracy,” Fashola noted that the standard of democratic dividends that would be given would depend on the people who are elected to public posts.

According to him, elections and democracy do not ensure that elected officials would carry out their mandate. So, he claimed, it is the people’s responsibility to choose leaders who would deliver.

The event’s keynote speaker, a former governor of Lagos State, urged Nigerians to make sure that democracy functions and improves the lives of common citizens on the streets.

“You will not see qualifications, Muslim or Christian, on the vote box on election day,” Fashola warned. The kindness or compassion of the individual you want to vote for will not be indicated on the ballot.

Because the majority will ultimately elect the candidate they like, democratic institutions like this town hall meeting aid in identifying concerns.

The majority’s preference does not guarantee that someone will fulfill their promises.

He warned against the danger of giving authority to those who lack the necessary skills to improve the lives of the populace, saying that whatever decision our country makes has repercussions.
