Ezeh, Elder Statesman Calls For Electoral Reforms, Service To People
Chief Gaius Ezeh, an elder statesman has called on the federal government to initiate a process towards reforming the electoral process before the next election.
Ezeh, who is the Chairman “Equity Movement Turn by Turn” made the call in Awkaon Sunday.
He said it had become necessary because a strong electoral system was crucial to good governance.
He called on the Federal Government to pay attention to the growing opinions of critical stakeholders across the country and embark on constructive engagement for greater national good.
According to Ezeh, every good leader is supposed to leave a good legacy behind for which he would be remembered.
“Some people are talking about the National Conference, while others are talking about electoral reforms, I do not see what we are going to do differently in 2027 without these.
“My humble appeal to the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is that he should do something serious about electoral reforms.
“It is very important for the survival of this Country,” he said.
Ezeh recalled that Musa President Yaradua was still a hero long after his death because acknowledged faulty system that brought him to power and started a process to correct it.
He said Yar’adua went ahead to address the specific challenges of the various regions including going into the creeks of Niger Delta to pacify and calm down Niger-Delta agitators.
“May his soul continue to rest in peace wherever he is.
“The question our leaders of today should ask themselves is, what do they want to be remembered for after I must have either left office or gone to their maker,” he said.
