Senate 2023: No better candidate than Bulus Audu - MG Usman

'Senate 2023: No better candidate than Bulus Audu'

.BY COMRADE MUSA MOHAMMED

As the 2023 general elections get closer, the time for the people of Southern Kaduna senatorial District to put on their thinking cap has come.

This is no time to pander to political party supremacy without questioning. Political parties, as has been emphasized over time are simply vehicles for promoting the vision and aspirations of the individuals, particularly in the Nigerian context without a clear-cut ideological foundation for the political parties.

What the people need at this point in our political journey are men and women with the capacity and character to deliver on their mandates. From our experiences so far, there is no gain in saying the fact that the calibre of people elected as leaders determines the quality of democratic dividends that would be delivered to the citizens.

 Democracy and election do not guarantee that the elected people will deliver on their election mandate. It is the duty of the people to elect those that would deliver. And this is derived from the character, capacity, mental ability and attitude of the office seekers to life, wealth, issues, people and the position he occupies. 

A public analysts and APC stakeholder in kaduna Alhaji MG Usman in an interview with newsmen, said that nothing short of the calibre of people elected as leaders determines the quality of democratic dividends that would be delivered to the citizens.

MG Usman made it clear that it is the duty of the people to elect those that would deliver because democracy is expected to make the lives of the people better. 

"In 2023 elections, If we are looking for a candidate with the character and personal clout to deliver, then Surv. Bulus Audu is the man.

For many years, southern kaduna has suffered from a crisis of character in leadership. Bulus Audu has come to spread enthusiasm for the reconstruction of southern kaduna nation. We should encourage all our political party leaders to launch unto the deep to fish out all the Bulus Audu because that is the only way to ban mediocrity and incompetence in our public life. With men like occupying public offices across kaduna State and Nigeria, the land would yield her increase and the people will see reasons to celebrate democracy in the coming years. Those faces that represent the corruption and heartless failures of the past should be barred from the coming dispensation when character will reinforce hope and peace for a better Nigeria.

And here is the thing, most Southern Kaduna people have been praying and asking for a power shift from the hands of the accidental leaders who have been ruling and ruining us. We have been asking for leaders who are prepared. 

There is no better candidate for the senate in the 2023 general election than Bulus Audu. The time to elect Bulus Audu to replicate the magic of his visible successes in the corporate world and in the senate has come.

He is a thinker. He is disciplined. He has been a successful businessman and an investor who knows the value of customer-centricity. And so as a successful chartered accountant of no mean repute, with experiences on the board of several blue-chip companies, multi-national organizations and federal government agencies, he knows how to play boardroom politics and could be a huge asset to the National Assembly with the prospect of heading strategic committees of the senate. These are the kind of people we should be sent to the senate and not some empty political noisemakers who boast of everything but achieve nothing for the people.

A paper delivered on September 7 in Abuja by Prof Chris Nwaokobia Jr on the credibility of leadership stated succinctly that ‘’The success of every legitimate Business and trade in any society, State or nation is almost always the sum of the credibility of leadership, the believability of the economic policy of the government, and the sincere commitment of leadership to etch new paradigms for the common good’’. He emphasized that where the credibility of leadership is thin the business environment suffers for fear of policy summersaults, self-serving policies and less than proper people-oriented trade programs. Where gangster impunity is the name of the monitoring and regulating Agencies, business and trade suffer.

Those who managed our political space in the past with abrasive air of impunity yet still expect to benefit from the new wave of consciousness in the democratic experiment must learn some lessons the hard way so as to teach the anti-democratic forces in the land that one cannot eat his cake of goodwill and still have it.

Ede Dafinone, the APC Candidate for the Delta Central senatorial elections in 2023 represents true change as he brings a breath of fresh air to the political space. We can understand why there is palpable faith and hope across the Urhobo nation in his capability and credibility account. The people had always craved a new dispensation and a new order in leadership. Ede Dafinone comes to the table with an amazing score in competency, in capacity, credibility, integrity, passion, humaneness and humanity and in believability. No doubt, the impact of a Dafinone’s representation of Delta Central in the senate will be monstrous, magnificent and huge.

The 2023 political game is wearing a new look. The reality of the moment is to send men who can breast the tape with uncommon charm and grace. The coming dispensation is for people with grit and audacity to dare the system to yield our lot. None of those in the race is better qualified and equipped than Ede Dafinone in terms of professional qualifications. His world-class taste and acclaim would galvanize the people to aspire for better things. His carriage is urbane and elegantly sophisticated. He is already being referred to as the ‘Barrack Obama’ of Urhoboland because of his unassuming mien and outlook. Handsomely suave and polished, Ede Dafinone is like a shining star in the firmament of Urhobo political cosmology. Urhobo deserve the best. Ede Dafinone is the best.
