Lalasticlala, Mynd44, help this ministry, please! Thanks!

FTC ..

Nice profile,
Rich cv
Truth be told
He can contest by virtue of the constitution
I put to him he can't Win it ..

Reason
Politics is first and foremost local
..
What are his political antecedence?

What political structure does he have on ground?

What Is his grass root base / movement like ?

What party is he contesting under?

You can't just wake up 10 months to election and claim you want to be president..

It's tantamount to having a good ambition but wrong timing, wrong move ...

I think the best he can get is a ministerial political appointment in hid field of study ..


Views are mine based in the political Nigerian reality on ground

The guy is my first cousin,but like you rightly pointed out,no structure.
He hasn't even made any impact in our villa.Nothing to point to as having his imprint on it.
Funniest of all though,there's talk of him contesting on the platform of a brand new party.
We yet wonder what sort of political headway he hopes to make with that.The odds are stacked high against him,sigh

Dude should start with establishing An NGO or a small community scheme that can see him connect with his immigrant environment before he going ahead to join any political party .. That can help him build grass root movement for now.

Haven Been consistent over time , he can now vie for local council chairmanship for a political litmus test ..


You can pm me for more details if you really want to help him grow politically ...
