A Manifesto without a corresponding Action Plan is not very useful. Many Nigerian politicians are still not getting it! We are past the days of mere Manifestos and should be in the era of ‘Actionable’ manifestos, that is; Manifestos that have correlating Action Plans.

A manifesto is simply a written statement of an organisation’s beliefs, aims, and policies, especially a political party and its candidates. Taken to a higher level of abstraction, a manifesto remains just a statement of intent and herein lies the quandary. We are past the stage of intentions, candidates and their parties should state clearly their plans for each lofty or not lofty intentions they have, otherwise their manifestos are as useless and worthless than the cost of the paper they are typed on.

I have outlined in my manifesto not just my pledges but also my adopted representation policy. This project is not mine alone but for us all and I am merely a servant leader sent to speak for you.
