GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR POLITICIANS TO PLAY POLITICS
By ‘Tunji Abdulhameed Esq.
Have we asked ourselves why are politicians in U.S, UK, France and the like not playing politics with security, inflation, devaluation, unemployment, GDP, corruption, defections etc.
I am of the opinion that it is because government in those countries are largely doing or fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities of providing adequate security, fight against corruption, provides employment for their citizens, enables the environment to promote businesses and reward hard works, ensure elections are free and fair, job and appointment to government positions are gotten based on merit and not on the basis of man know man or influence, ensure basic socio and economic infrastructure are provided, schools children and pupils are protected and not kidnapped and schools are not shut down because of insecurity or for any other reasons and citizens have confidence government to protect and provide enabling environment for them to carry out their legatimate responsibilities.
Consequently, no room or opportunity to play politics with insecurity, welfare, corruption, inflation, unemployment, GDP, defection etc was created.
If there is security, if corruption is adequately prevented and people alleged of corruption are adequately punished, criminals are not being rewarded with scholarship abroad or multi billion naira contract in the name of amnesty are not given to criminals and those involved in providing insecurity, employment opportunities are provided for the youths, socio and economic interest of the citizens are largely taken care of, if leaders or rulers or public office holders are not loosing their belts and asking citizens to tighting theirs, economic hardship does not persist for years, no ASUU, Doctors, Nurses, Footballers and other strikes, if rules of law are being followed etc, I am very sure no politician will have the opportunity to play politics with those issues.
Government should be in charge and be responsible so that room or opportunity to play politics will not exist.
