Sir, as man and state become the authority of one another, it takes the good heart to rule on a resourceful land. Each nation is given with natural strength for one product to another. Nations are entitled to attract help from one another without a strenuous interest. Even if a leader is seen as weak and unintelligent, the dignity of his representation must be secured by honoring a balanced interest, especially when it is not for a product market. To become a good nation, the government must have external bodies within the nation to partake in overall decisions and processes of both internal and external policies that aim at bringing national growth. If everything is inclusively and extremely done by the government representatives only, there is likely emergence of developmental errors that may endanger a nation before her counterparts that don’t have a similar tendency of inter-transaction. Both expertise, experiences, skills, and knowledge are mandated for a display between two nations in order to activate a balanced and productive understanding for a developmental system.
No nation on earth is weak and stranded of natural resources. A nation can only have ill-hearted, inexperienced, and unmanageable leaders. Political instability is largely traced to the none participation of youths in government. This is, therefore, a score for nations, especially African nations, to channel prior efforts on this as it is motivating and challenging that Nigeria should take full responsibility for this. I want it to be an open concern for Nigerian youths to pick the challenges as the political atmosphere navigates towards the 2027 general elections.
Nigerian youths must do away from implicative activities that may hinder their progress in political participation. The avoidance of online crimes, wrong and outrageous social media usage, praising their oppressors, avoidance of being used against one another for the interest of these bad-fashioned political leaders, a refusal to be completely controlled or mislead by some of the erroneous preachings and advocations from some of the fake religious leaders, supporting for the youth inclusion in governance, projecting and supporting visionary and revolutionary leaders, adherence to the constitution and rule of laws, refusing the wrong campaign methods that deceives the poor masses and ignorant electorates, and the host alike, should be glamourously adhered to in order to activate a governmental system that secures our desires. It is definitely advantageous to the nation and her youths if these few mentioned factors are guided with seriousness.
The international communities hold a lot to help every nation. Particularly, Nigerian youths need a lot of help from international communities to see their route to governance a success. Nigerians as a whole need the help of international communities to triumph over the existing problems, highlighting issues that surround the nation. The Tinubu government and its policies need international assistance to boost the nation’s economy. The national and international experts in economic and human resource management are to enter Nigeria’s policy space for possible help.
The only thing left for Nigeria is for the president to put more efforts in the security system, hold the ministries of Finance and Petroleum with check and balance, and ensure better understanding of separation of power between the organs of government to give more strength and believe to the citizens for better acknowledgement of the administration. Hence, financial experts who can grow Nigeria out of these internal problems must be hired and mandated to do forensic audits and to put discipline and regulatory measures for the betterment of the nation. The sponsors of the insecurities across the nation should be arrested and sent to prison. Proper maintenance and supplies for the agricultural sector and limitation for unproductive use of the entertainment sector should be taken into serious consideration. The educational sector should be visited with disciplinary and productive measures. The electoral empire and judiciary sector must receive adequate freedom, whereas youth inclusion in governance gets fully activated. With this, if Nigeria can get hold of the mentioned measures, definitely, the glory of the nation would attract more investors and a call of international collaborations in some sectors.
Now that Nigeria is swimming into another pool of general elections, Tinubu and his cabinets must try to amend tables to achieving economic dominance for the use of citizens. The fact that elections are fast approaching – fuel, and food prices – must be regulated for easy accessibility and purchase. That will be a significant sign that the government is working for the poor masses. Additionally, it is time our youths organize themselves and align with the well-meaning and unbiased figures, activists, and journalists to bring suitable candidates and their projections of achievements.
The Tinubu government must be held accountable by the youths, activists, and journalists to enable them to stand a chance for the general elections. The government should do this so that it can be among the dividends of the democracy for the youths and electorates. Democratic system of governance is needed to be run by citizens who are trying to bring out valuable and workable suggestions.
I found it a graceful thing to support the government that will make ways for citizens’ representatives trying to bring daily meals to tables. Only a few people who have personal integrity and the spirit for developmental systems can be supported within the ruling political party. Hence, the central structure should be designed and redesigned to help the entire citizens. So, Nigerians are looking up to the government for the growth and development of our desires. We are encouraged to strengthen good wills and to see how productive there are.
Tinubu and his administration must understand the beat of 2027 general elections. The emergence of political weights from north to south – the west to east, the government need a lot of work if a reelection must happen. From all indications and intellectual measures, what can give the administration an upper hand for reelection is to make better changes and to do the needful for poor citizens. Acknowledging and inviting activists and acceptance of constructive criticisms should be embraced within a few weeks. These are political clusters that can guarantee the 2027 play cards. The arrangements of 2027 general elections are extremely a cluster of power – the combination of influence, ethnicity, supporters, strategy, and power. The goal is to ensure the government delivers for society in order to have a chance at re-election.
Finally, it is time Nigerians come out together and unite for the political polls. The collective support would end our protest and advocation in presidential elections. The most important thing is to fortify ourselves against all odds so that we shouldn’t trade our conscience that would trade away our resilience efforts in bringing good governance through upright selection.
