Lagos State deputy governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, has urged Nigerians to shun emotions and vote for credible leaders based on their accomplishments in the forthcoming general elections in order to have a Nigeria that is beneficial to all.
The deputy governor stated this at the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) Good Governance Workshop with the theme: “Credible Leadership and Good Governance – From Home to Hero”, held in Lagos.
Hamzat said governance is not about emotions or trial and errors, saying Nigerians must vote in leaders that have good antecedents and not be swayed by emotions in order to find lasting solutions to myriads of challenges facing the country.
“Governance is not about emotions or trial and error. We must look at what we really want. In Nigeria today, we must have a coincidence of wants. We must agree and be ready to make sacrifices for our children. It is not about everybody thinking they have the solutions to the problem of the country. We should stop attacking ourselves. There must be partnership”.
The deputy governor charged Nigerians to be informed and verify information given so that they will not be deceived with bogus statistics and lies thrown around.
