'People always want welfare, development, and good governance. As long as you are delivering, people are with you.' N. Chandrababu Naidu. In this piece,
“People always want welfare, development, and good governance. As long as you are delivering, people are with you.”In this piece, we are of the conviction that Nigerians are a step away from being clinically pronounced ‘dead’ in terms of commitment to defend democracy and constitutionalism and this threshold will be determined by the quality of the results of the February 2023 general election with specific and unique reference to who emerges as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Be that as it may, we will proceed, since the constitution is already foisted on us by hook and crook. We saw that the demonstrators gathered on Wednesday in the centre of the financial capital of Africa’s most industrialised nation to march on the headquarters of the ruling African National Congress party.
But the outages have reached new extremes over the past 12 months. Lights go off several times a day, sometimes for almost 12 hours in total. The editorial observed that reflections on the tenets of justice formed the core of this Socratic dialogue. The Constitution, it said, which was adopted on January 26, 1950 — the nation’s first Republic Day — is, arguably, the ideal code of justice that was given to the nation.
The editorial maintained that truncated parliamentary sessions and hasty passage of bills concerning public welfare are hardly emblematic of a citizen’s Parliament. A related dimension is the constant tussle between governors and governments in states that have the Opposition in power. A deterioration in the standards of quality and seamless governance is the inevitable consequence of these undesirable confrontations.
An analyst wrote thus on Aristotle’s assertion aforementioned: “…we can now say that someone eligible to participate in the deliberative and judicial office is a citizen.” This quote is a direct reflection on what Aristotle believed that defined a citizen. I disagree because he failed to include anyone outside of certain white males who could be defined as a citizen-based on their level of birth. Even though it wasn’t explicitly said in this particular quote, it was heavily implied.
