COLUMN:My 30% With Adewale Adetoyese Osun 2018: Choosing Between Party And Personality

Over the political desensitizations in Osun state, one of the problems confronting the innocent electorates in the selection of a beneficial and a vision-full leader has been the choice between such a political office seeker and the political party presenting him/her.

As a matter of fact, this sole problem has been successful in turning most of Osun voters to a blind session of electorates as they mostly regret those they gladly voted for in elections, especially governorship elections.

While the illiterate and less-informed voters who formed the majority of voters in Osun kept on swimming in this pool of political confusion by voting blindly and sentimentaly, the educated who are expected to be informed however made the polling boots their enemy because they found it impossible to vote rightly.

To start with, Personality has to with the image and identity of an office seeker, his background and past records. Here, questions arises in formats like;

Who is he/she?

Where is he/she from?

What has he/she done to merit his demand?

Why must he/she be considered or rejected?

What about his personal life?

The above are few of those countless questions an electorate should asked before submitting his/her vote for an office seeker.

But unfortunately in Osun state, voters blindly vote for political parties with some even voting without knowing the name of the candidate they voted for. This particular point is evident in the way the state have sailed from a political party to the other in search of a pleasant leader.

Politicians who have already identified this sensitive weakness of Osun voters strategically feast on it by changing political parties like panties to feed their hungry greed.

Osun political years in and out have been polluted by complaints, blames and regrets bordering on little or no research about those party flagbearers before anointing them with undeserved votes.

Since we have little or nothing to show for our previous support for political parties, I'll will suggest we reform our voting mentality and go for Personality. This will enable us to break the political fence of deceit and connect directly to our most preferred candidate.

The best way to abort the unwanted pregnancy of regret after next year's governorship election in the state is to now resume an objective search into the profiles of all aspirants with no credence or preference for their political parties.

In this era of 'Everybody For Governor' ahead of the 2018 election, voters must embrace this golden opportunity to know the real man/woman aspiring to be the next governor leaving the party behind.

Remember! He who knows better will do better!

Please fortify yourself with eye-opening information to enable you vote well in the forthcoming election in the interest of our dear state.
Please let us get it right this time!
