BE PURPOSEFUL AS A POLITICIAN

You can't undermine a process that has benefited you in the past. This means being consistent in your values and actions, and not compromising your principles for personal gain. For instance, Bola Tinubu, the current President of Nigeria, has navigated the country's complex political landscape by building alliances and making strategic decisions. Winning in politics requires more than just emotional appeals. Politicians like Peter Obi, Fubara, and former Vice President Osinbajo have relied on emotional manipulation, but this approach has its limitations. Instead, politicians should focus on developing robust policies and strategies that address the needs of their constituents. Internal party democracy should ensure that political parties select candidates through a fair and transparent election. This prevents the concentration of power among a few individuals and promotes merit-based leadership. Poverty alleviation is vital for a nation’s stability and growth. As the saying goes, “ a hungry man is an angry is an angry man. Mass literacy and education of the populace should be considered a necessity Politics is a game of strategy, and the rules remain unchanged. Politicians must be prepared to navigate the complexities of Nigerian politics, where partnerships are forged and broken, and interests are constantly shifting. To emerge victorious, politicians must employ effective and clever strategies. This requires a deep understanding of the political landscape, the ability to build collaboration, and the capacity to adapt to changing circumstances. Finally, politicians must be honest about their abilities and limitations. If you're uncertain about defeating your opponents on their terms, it's best to refrain from participating. This doesn't mean giving up, but rather, focusing on building your skills, networks, and resources before launching a campaign. Politicians can increase their chances of success and make a meaningful impact on the country’s development. Remember, integrity Matters, emotional manipulation won’t cut it, the game remains the same, strategic thinking is key, and knowing your limits is crucial. By grasping these principles, politicians in Nigeria can increase their chances of success and make a meaningful impact on the country's development.
