2023: Activist warns of danger of supporting highest bidder politicians

Femi Mustapha
An Activist and  Coordinator of  Coalition of Associations for Leadership, Peace, Empowerment and Development (CALPED),  Yusuf  Goje  has warned  Nigerians of danger in supporting aspirants, candidates because of money or gifts like cars, motorbikes and  wrappers they will get.
He  asserted this while speaking to media in Kaduna.
According to him, such  politicians when elected into offices will divert the money meant for development, with tenfold profit, as their return on investment that is  monies spent on  supporters.
Goje who is also Leader of Local Government Accountability Mechanism (LGAM) explained  that the supporters at that  point  would have spent the money or are unable to maintain or even disposed the gifts given to them.
“Sadly, you will then have to wait for the next cycle of elections before you are remembered again.
“Do not sell your conscience to the highest bidder, you are not only mortgaging yourself, but the future of your children. Your actions have consequences, do not forget that.
“Let’s engage, ask the right questions and hold the government accountable.” he said.
