“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.”

-

John F. Kennedy

(Former President of the United States)

Dear Active Citizen,Nigeria has been described as a country inundated with rich human and material resources begging to be adequately utilised by purposeful, creative and innovative leaders. However, leadership has been a major challenge that has stunted the development of the nation.An active citizen, Zeal Akaraiwe, has started a series -  #TypeOfLeadersWeNeed - on Twitter to spotlight attributes citizens should prioritise in selecting their candidates for the 2023 elections.Exposure and audacity have already been highlighted.

With several candidates declaring their intention to vie for the office of the President in recent days, it is imperative that we begin to hold conversations centred on their plans, if elected, vis-a-vis what the future holds in light of the innumerable challenges confronting our dear nation.Join us this Thursday, March 31, at 7pm on EiE’s Twitter Spaces as we discuss the topic, Nigeria: What does the future hold?, with former Senate President and former Governor of Kwara State, Dr Bukola Saraki.Share this event with your friends and loved ones.
