Most members have wallowed in ignorance in the choice of persons they preferred to lead the Nigeria Union of Journalists Edo State Council.
This trend of Denials have continued whenever it is time to elect new executive members for a three years span in office.
The blame games and the uneven sentiments shared by members had been the real setback factors that must be stopped or let continued in the forthcoming election.
Let me point that, we are not in any way, different from those governing the national interests that have led the Country with a certain sentiment from choices we have collectively made in the past.
I'm therefore, advocating that, our actions and inaction in this regard, is the part we must critically see as destroying the fabrics of our foundation.
There's a chance to move against these ills and reform the obvious.
Looking at the conceptualized Manifestos of the two Contestants, you will agree with me that, there are no too much to argue about.
Festus Alenkhe is projecting a fresh opportunity through his New Vision, New Direction, While Titus Akhigbe want to change the narrative of Edo NUJ For The Better.
This two concepts for me, tend to portray similarities in each mandatory intention.
Unarguably, It's a clear indication that, something is wrong with the system that needs attention of all, given their manifestos' positions.
We sincerely need extra dialogues to purge the system and heal the sovereign engagements of the union, or perhaps, should not be economical with the truth, if we must collectively move forward.
The beautiful perceptions of both Contestants will spill off the right direction if carefully followed to the later.
The only reason I would have to differ with the manifesto, is the personalities behind the beautifully scripted manifestos.
Can everyone, scruff our chins in believe that both men have the right mentalities to defend the promised Manifestos?
Let us look at these individuals taken into perspective, what they have done in time past and what their intentions are for members.
Do we stand a chance to trust these elements to offer members the opportunity to enjoy the framework of the Union set by our heroes past?
Are we going to stand aloof and watch another three years gone same way as usual?
If the Contestants are now pointing to an urgent need to reform the Scheme given their manifestos, should it not be in the interest of members to prepare and put them to debate their reasons?
Although researchers are of the opinions that, debates are not true testaments to judge those who will perform, through it, one would be able to determine how genuine a candidate will aggregate efforts in the delivery of the imperative dividends.
It's a personal problem to hold everyone accountable because the sooner we blame ourselves again and again, if we can't make the contestants sign indemnity insurance with such manifestos presented.
It will be cynically manipulative to abstain, or chose to disapprove, or belittle, the call to participate in the physical presentations of your Manifestos before congress.
Besides, it goes a long way to provide the opportunity for some members who don't know you deeply but hear only your names in the actual sense to know you and smell you.
A leaders' debate is a public document held during a general election campaign, where the candidates expose their political opinions and public policy proposals, and criticism of them, to potential voters.
Debate is the bedrock of democracy in any culture or political system because It is a fundamental part of freedom of expression which is itself recognized world-wide as a basic human right.
Debate provides preparation for effective participation in a society with representative administration.
Our form of civil governance has relied upon debate to empower members with greater knowledge and to help spread same knowledge.
This allows fellow members to more, effectively participate in the democratic process.
Debate is proper for members to accentuate their plights.
IF the umpires must be trusted to deliver a free, fair and Credible election, they must stand tall and listen to the voice of those calling for debate.
It's time to wheel away from uncertainty, stagnated politics and project inclusiveness in our deliberate efforts to build a new standard and conducive environment for Journalists.
