Former Deputy national Chairman of the People’s Democratic Part (PDP), Chief Bode George has lamented that the country’s electoral processes are in shambles.
Speaking today, October 9, at the 9th National Annual Conference of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP), in Lagos, George called for revisit of the the processes for the country to get them right.
According to him, if a leader truly knows that his constituency would not vote for him after four years, he would do his best to impact on his people.
Bode George, who spoke as chairman of the Conference, themed: “Reconciling Campaign Promises with Governance Realities: Challenges and Prospects” noted that because politicians in power know that whatever happens, they can rig themselves back to power, they don’t care about the people they serve.
Describing campaign promises as easy, he said that it is a different ball game when it comes to implications.
He said that though there is no perfect system, even as he called on the people to pray for leaders to succeed in taking the country to the promised land.
