As President Bola Tinubu and Governors mark their second year in office today, governorship aspirant for the 2027 election in Kogi State, Chief Aminu Nda Onuh has cautioned Nigeria leaders to inspire tolerance among others to serve as a leading light to upcoming democracies in Africa.

Onuh who congratulated them for attaining two years of office said it is not yet Uhuru that people are yet to feel the real impact of governance in some states of the federation adding that to justify the votes given to them all the elected representatives must re-assess themselves within this two years and redouble their efforts to meet the yearning and aspirations of the people that elected them.

“We may have said we have done our best but your best may not be enough because there are glaring pains on the faces of every average Nigerian, that means a lot needs to be done to salvage the situation in the country,” he was quoted as saying.

On Political tolerance, the Kogi-born grassroots politician said politics without opposition is not healthy stressing that a leader must be criticized to sit up and must not be taken personally and be seen as political witch-hunting.

“Must tolerate ourselves, be you as opposition or a member of a ruling party to sustain our democracy.

“Many of our leaders have paid supreme sacrifice for this democracy to be born and it will be a great disservice to allow our ambition to thwart the gain”, he said,

Onuh further disclosed that he is coming into the race for the 2027 Poll in Kogi State to rescue the state faced with the need for good leadership to unite the people who have been divided by politics.

“We have a long outstanding history from Old Kabba Province to then Kwara State and we are together by destiny yet disunited by ethnic strife occasioned by bad political actors to score cheap political gain,” he lamented.
