Republican candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama at presidential debate
Polities and electioneering in America is a big business and it is taken serious
by everybody involved, events of the past weeks has shown that an average
American is interested in what their leaders have to offer.
Contestants are well groomed, they deal with issues and they sell their
parties ideology to the voters using all avenues and channels accepted by the
system.
But what we have at home is far less than what is done in the america’s presidential
debates, I can remember vividly during the 2011 elections in Nigeria, President
Goodluck Jonathan boycotted one of the presidential debates to have a presidential
chat with D'banj. (Till now I can't figure out the correlation).
Our ruling class must learn from this and we the voters must also hold the
politicians responsible so that they don't take us for granted. They must come
and explain what values they will add to governance in other to improve the
lots of an average Nigerian in the south, north, west or east.
God bless America and also bless my nation "Nigeria".
I hope my candidate win this election, please don't ask me who he is because
I guess you should know where I’m pitching my tent.
