Dear #ActiveCitizens, politics is an avenue to serve! We must not recruit people who don’t have track records, or people who wait idly for another four years after losing an election.

As campaigns intensify in the coming months, let’s remember that governance is a serious

business meant for competent individuals with proven experience, functional careers, and verifiable contributions to society.

Beyond this, as mobilizers, here is what we are committing to, working closely with @Connected_dev, @UZABE_NG and other civil society organizations.

.@HamzyCODE: "Nigeria need not look far for proof. My experience and work in Connected Development through our award-winning flagship social accountability project, Follow the Money, has opened my eyes to the enormous latent resources lying untapped in our body polity. Across our communities, ordinary citizens have repeatedly demonstrated extraordinary capacity to improve governance when given meaningful opportunities. Community monitors have helped expose abandoned projects. Citizens have tracked budgets and ensured public resources reached intended beneficiaries. Technology has enabled young Nigerians to report failing public services in real time. Local dialogues have influenced decisions on education, healthcare and water infrastructure in ways no centralised planning process could achieve alone."

Public sector reform succeeds not because governments possess all the answers, but because they are willing to ask the right questions, and humble enough to listen to the people who live with the consequences of every policy!

@Connected_dev True development requires shifting marginalized communities from passive beneficiaries into active co-creators of policy. When communities take ownership of a project, they transform from indifferent bystanders into fierce protectors of their collective future.

The future of our democracy depends entirely on the quality of our collective engagement. 🇳🇬✊

With decades of broken promises, we can’t continue to give blank cheques to public office candidates!

As the campaign towards 2027 elections officially starts today for Presidential and National Assembly elections, with Governorship & State Houses of Assembly starting in

and the protection of vulnerable groups.

Real governance begins with demanding accountability before a single ballot is cast. Let’s make our votes count by raising the standard of our political conversations.

@inecnigeria a piece of paper. It is the most potent weapon you hold to shape governance, demand accountability, and secure your future.

True change does not come from silent frustration; it comes from active participation at the ballot box and beyond! Vox populi, vox dei!

The outcome of the just concluded Osun state governorship election stands as a powerful testament to the resilience of the Nigerian people and Nigeria’s democracy at a time when many voters, especially young people, have been losing faith in our democratic institutions.

@inecnigeria The standards set in off-cycle governorship election must become the baseline for the entire country, ensuring that no geopolitical zone or polling unit is left behind by system failures or operational delays.

To the citizens, particularly young people, your vote is not just
