2023: It Is Time To Sheath Your Sword And Focus – Orji Kalu Sends Message To Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso
Orji Uzor Kalu, the Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, criticized candidates on Wednesday for engaging in verbal attacks against their rivals during campaigns rather than concentrating on their strategies for the electorate.
At a media gathering conducted in his office in Abuja, Kalu responded to queries by expressing his displeasure with some candidates’ activities.
He advised the front-runners to concentrate on what they could offer the electorate rather than on the tarnished past of their rivals.
Further, he cautioned representatives for the presidential candidates of the four major political parties to refrain from trivial concerns in their sophistries, emphasizing that their principles should not linger on trivial issues that invariably de-market the democratic process.
According to him, “Everybody in Nigeria knows that there are four leading Presidential candidates for the 2023 Presidential election but their spokespersons are not giving Nigerians the required information as regards programmes and agenda of their principals on the myriad of challenges facing the nation.
What Nigerians want to hear from the four leading candidates of the four formidable political parties, is their plans on how to turn around the Nation’s economy for the better, end insurgency, banditry, kidnapping and other forms of crimes and criminalities bedevilling the country.
“Nigerians are tired of rhetorics on personal lives of the presidential candidates as being churned out by their spokespersons who primarily should be focusing on what their principals have in stock for the people across the various sectors.”
News Direct reports that the four leading presidential candidates in the upcoming 2023 election are Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
