Election cycles and the desecration of our common humanity

From THE recovery of democratic governance In THE country In 1999, OUR election ride a bike, each four years, has benefited We THE opportunity has either renew THE mandates of OUR elected leaders, Or replace them Since time has time. I was Also young has participate In THE elections detained In THE First of all republic.

THE details of how election propaganda campaigns of that time were brand with violence, to hate And intolerance are GOOD documented In history. Indeed, he was THE inability of THE The politicians, of that time, has play THE game of policy, according to has established rules, that invariably directed has THE collapse of THE Republic When opportunistic soldiers shot themselves In power In 1966.

THE policy of THE second Republic was acrimonious Also. THE election propaganda campaigns were charge with abuse, disinformation, lies, brutality, And sporadic violence through THE country. THE five policy evenings that disputed THE 1979 And 1983 elections were A little differentiated In both ideology And programming. A of THE leading The figures of THE time, late Ibrahim Waziri, THE Presidential candidate of Great Nigeria People To party (GNPP), However, added A little of color, moderation, caution And delicacy has THE path policy was plays by be A lawyer of policy without bitterness. He was A message that largely resonated with The politicians of that time. HAS This END, In spite of casual deviations Since THE standards of decency, THE election propaganda campaigns were in general decent, illuminating And like a carnival.

THE third Republic was A brand improvement on THE second Republic In terms of popular participation In election propaganda campaigns. They were huge glasses of color, passion And elegance has different campaigns land through THE country After THE to forbid of policy campaigns was survey. Unfortunately, In 2015, THE fourth Republic, We took THE desecration of OUR common humanity has A unprecedented level of say disgust, with tirelessly attacks on Her Excellency, Mohammed Buhari, ancient Head of State, THE flag bearer of THE APC during THE election propaganda campaigns. Momentarily, We forget that In OUR humanity We find OUR be, OUR completeness And OUR essence. As marry by late Archbishop Tutu, In her best seller – 'Do For Goodness (2010), We failed has recognize that 'has be odious And mean East Operating against THE the deepest aspirations that God has put In OUR hearts because each kindness improved THE quality of life while each cruelty decreases that'.

My sense East that while We all to have A RIGHT has vote For A candidate of OUR choice In A election, We TO DO not to have has lose OUR essence of humanity And goodness on THE altar of to hate campaigns And acrimonious policy. Late Archbishop Tutu enjoined We has note that 'THE practices of goodness are practices of vigilance And aware choice. They are habits of self-awareness ". In other words, THE late statesman, reprimand We that We become subhuman, lack discipline And constitute A hazard, not only has ourselves but Also has humanity, In fail has realize that We to have A responsibility has ourselves, And has others, has celebrate OUR sharing humanity base on love, compassion, temperance And mutual consideration For all And miscellaneous.

The man inhumanity has man was A child play during THE 2015 And 2019 elections relative has THE 2023 campaigns When he was pupil has THE The highest level of absurdity. A candidate, Asiwaju Bolas Ahmed Tinubu, NOW Nigeria President, was without mercy attack And in the pillory, humiliated, lied against, abused, reprimand, And ridiculed all along THE campaigns.

He was present as A uneducated, incoherent, good-for-nothing old grandfather, And common criminal WHO was Also I will has be entrusts with THE the nation presidency. He was praised as A desperado desire For power on A FAKE notion of 'emilokan'- A right doctrine', indifferent of THE do that he adopted he as her humble advocacy has delegates Since Ogun State has vote For him during THE presidential primary of her party.Sa critics even compound A funny song on 'baba wey No GOOD he dey shout emi lokan, hand dey shake, leg dey shake, baba wey No GOOD he dey shout Emilokan' has mock him. Given her pedigree as A pro-democracy activist, A to party chief, A accomplished administrator, A Talent hunter, A financial Wizard, And A bridge builder, undoubtedly, he was eminently qualified has competition For THE The highest desk In THE earth.

Her detractors, However, thought Otherwise. But has their consternation, he won fair And square because of her audacity, the determination, rare sense of to focus, temerity, long suffering And amazing ability has build bridges through religious And ethnic split, among others. That he could survive THE unending missiles of to hate, shots, disinformation And pure cruelty that he was submitted has, especially on social media platforms which were used as terror Machinery has denigrate him during THE campaigns, East both legendary And unprecedented ...
