Anambra 2021: The Issues We Are Not Discussing, An Open Letter by Dr Godwin Maduka

Anambra 2021: The Issues We Are Not Discussing, An Open Letter by Dr Godwin Maduka.

I am onye Anambra, and today, I write not as a person with partisan interest, but as a concerned citizen, or what our people call “nwa afo”. I write as a citizen with civic consciousness who understands that more often than not, especially in the Nigerian political space, electioneering activities tend to obscure the real issues affecting the society. Those issues get glossed over without critical appraisal and are lost in the din of campaign activities. And so elections come and go, but those issues still remain because like Newton’s first law of motion states, an object will remain at rest or move in a constant velocity until it is acted upon by an external force.
