Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, claims that politicians may win elections without “exaggerating” the problems the nation is suffering.
In his keynote address at TheNiche’s annual lecture on the subject of “2023 Elections and the Future of Nigeria’s Democracy,” Fashola made this statement on Thursday in Lagos, Nigeria.
The minister advised politicians to play up the country’s prospects rather than downplay them.
His words: “We can win elections without disrobing our country before the global community. We can do so by valorising Nigeria’s possibilities and not by widening her fault lines.”
“We can win elections without exaggerating our problems. We can do so by offering credible service and well thought out solutions,”
“Elections and democracy must represent for us, a feast of ideas and choices that bring out the best of us and the best of our country.”
