The Idea That Someone Is “presidential” When He Acts “too Big” Is Pathetic by EmekaMD(m): 11:39am On Sep 05, 2022
There are obviously many reasons why I would not prefer Tinubu or Atiku at the helm of affairs come 2023 but the issue standing out for me is the fact that we cannot be able to hold them accountable. Simply put, they consider themselves bigger and superior to Nigeria and Nigerians.

Take for instance, Tinubu has never told Nigerians why he should be voted for, he has never granted any interviews so Nigerians can hear from him directly and know what to expect from him should he win. The only opportunity he had to be st the NBA conference he blew it by sending his deputy. All he does is send proxies and spokespersons to speak for him at interviews and all what not. Last time we had candidate who spoke through proxies (Buhari) he won and eventually denied making any promises after all you didn’t hear him say anything directly.

Atiku is not different. He has this aura of him being too big and has never granted live interviews. All he did was released prerecorded interview with Arise crew. Again this gives a Buhari vibes.

Nigerians can you please vote someone who believes he is not too big to engage with you directly? someone who can speak to you directly if going gets tough. Someone who you can say “No” to and hold accountable and he wouldn’t send army to shoot at you?

Look.. all those countries you admire today are good because they are able to hold their leaders accountable. Their leaders are not angels, they are not perfect humans, but they are leaders who tread carefully because the opinions of their citizens matter to them.

The idea that someone is “presidential” when he acts “too big” and “full of himself” is pathetic.

Don’t tell me that campaign has not started and that’s why they’re not engaging us directly now, if that was the case they wouldn’t be sending their proxies to talk to the press. If they believe its ok to send people to the press then they should as well talk to us directly, live and take difficult questions. Governance is quite a difficult job after all

I pray Nigerians free themselves from the Stockholm syndrome that has held us down for long.
Politicians have weaponized poverty so they can buy people's conscience with looted funds.

Vote Peter Obi

This notion has made Nigeria loose a lot of right potentials...

A leader without humility can't take you anywhere....

The people who share this school of thought are urchns who have been programmed into hopelessness and misery through religion and poverty...

It is not out of this World that a slave who has been tied to a chain will be the first to go against his freedom fiigther... as long as the "big big men" acting "too big" throw bones at him to feed on...

"Take for instance, Tinubu has never told Nigerians why he should be voted for, he has never granted any interviews so Nigerians can hear from him"

When is the campaign starting again? Obi is flagrantly flouting the INEC rules by campaigning and raising money from overseas.
Other candidates are keeping to the timetable except Obi and he is expected by zombies to uphold our laws.

Politiicans are not some special class or species who have come from another planet. They are one among you, among us.
So one of you must take the lead, if you have the passion for people and service to society, you must come. Youth of this
country have the power to bring the change. Unfortunately in this country, politics is no longer a service. Politics has gone
from service to business, so you need to ask politicians whether they're here for service or business

how low average Nigerian mentally has decended. Someone raised a point of view and instead of you agreeing or disagreeing freely all you could type is “Emma the pig”;

what is the connection between what you just typed with the issues i raised above?
Shamefully this one might have gone to one of those Nigerian schools too.
