SENTIMENT DOES NOT ERASE REALITY.
Politics has become inevitable in our contemporary society today, and has been a very strong tool in piloting human society and to some extent, influences people's behaviors and actions.
Who speaks and stands for you in your presence and absence should and most be carefully selected, your choice of candidate should not be on the dictate of familiarity ,religiousity, and ethnicity. He who says 'who lead must be his Kingsman', from his faith and ethnicity is a threat to good governance and such elements are disastrous to societal stability and development and if such should be allowed to take or influence decision, society will soon cease to exist.
Election periods are very sensitive times, and political office holders play a very significant role in our society today, hence I want to call on all youths , elders, religious leaders and traditional ruler to support and vote the right candidates in the forthcoming LGA POLL.
We most learn to make our choice of candidates without any form of religious and ethnic affiliation but based on competency, efficiency and technical know-how of the candidates.
Elections are often heated affairs. The candidates from all parties seek advantage with voters not only by attacking their rivals’ records and proposed policies but also by questioning their patriotism, personal integrity or fitness for public offices.
The ingredients for unrest are present in any election, violent actors could disrupt the process and protracted contestation is possible.
Since it's conceivable that violence could erupt during voting or protracted ballot counts, election officials, parties faithful, security personnels therefore should take extra precautions in controlling all forms of violence. I advice that media should avoid projecting a winner until the outcome is certain.
All relevant authorities should preach violence-free election and be ready to counter voter intimidation and continue polling in an event of disruption.
I want to call on the Youths who are often used as tools in achieving this to abstain themselves from it. They should respect democratic norms by conducting themselves in a good manner to ensure we have free and Fair elections. Note that we have been scourged with security challenges and we will not want to have another one.
Note: Sentiment doesn't erase reality as such, if you vote someone who is not competent because he or she is your brother, sister, Kingsman and from your Faith, his incompetence would manifest and we shall all suffer it.
Vote wisely.
Vote responsible leaders!!!

KYPF president
