Campaign Hints: We Need FACTS-n-FIGURES!

Just an early advice/warning to aspirants and political parties: Don't waste our time with bland and woolly talk. Use FACTS and FIGURES: from government/official and researched/unofficial or commissioned sources. Elections 2007 is no business as usual. No.

Nigerians need credible analysis, alternative propositions and enlightened debates/attestations: How will you plan, design and execute robust sustainable development within your sphere of governance and tenure? What will you do differently, given our known/expected resources? In particular, how will you tackle and fund education, agriculture, infrastructure and security? What game-plan do you have for rural development and rural-urban migration? How will you tackle the proverbial brain drain, turning it to brain gain? What's in store for the neglected and now-boiling oil-rich Niger Delta, with its restive and agitated populace?

And the mother of all factors: How will you deal with CORRUPTION???

No one should enter the fray be it at local, state or national level without a very clear vision and mission - based on sound reasoning, backed with FACTS and FIGURES. None.
