Despite Nigeria’s current challenges, the self-centred political class seems more focused on the 2027 elections than addressing critical issues affecting the masses and fulfilling their campaign promises to their constituents, Davidson Iriekpen writes
With just less than two years into the tenure of the current administrations at the federal and state levels, the focus of the political class has already shifted from governance to the 2027 elections.
In well-functioning democracies, once a new government is inaugurated for a four-year term, it immediately begins fulfilling campaign promises. It is not until after three and a half years that the focus shifts to re-election.
