Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and former presidential candidate of Peoples Trust in 2019 elections has cautioned political actors against\u00a0further widening the existing gulf and divisions in the country in their race and ambition for 2023.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, warned that \u201cthe nation cannot afford to crash this democratic process on the altar of narrow self-interest by politicians who are merely on a mission of personal ambition and self-aggrandizement.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, in the quest for power by the candidates, rather than addressing issues that are germane to nationhood, the actors, especially the presidential candidates, have been fuelling the passion of tribal and religious anger among the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe point is that there is danger ahead if this monster is not tamed. Our democracy<\/a> faces the danger of been trapped by a self inflicted convulsion which may damage the current fragile ethno-religious situation in the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The supporters of the candidates, he added, were also driving their campaigns and marketing candidates via intimidation, threat, disinformation and blackmail<\/a>, without any word of caution from their principals.<\/p>\n

Olawepo-Hashim made the plea in a statement titled, \u201cDon\u2019t Divide Nigeria Over 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cEven before independence, Nigeria had a rich history of politics and political campaigns, which gave the electorate big opportunity to interrogate the candidates and party programmes before making informed choices and decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cCampaigns were built around issues which had been properly elucidated in the party\u2019s manifestoes. Parties were also held accountable for their programmes and the candidates towed the line of the parties in their conducts and utterances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first Republic, the four dominant parties: the AG, the NPC, the NCNC and NEPU were distinct and original in form and deeds before the electorates.<\/p>\n

\u201cDitto in the Second Republic when we had the NPN, the UPN, the NPP, GNPP, PRP and the NAP which were known by their programmes and issues raised in their campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is however at play presently is sadly at variance with the good old days. While the country is presently held down by the demons of insecurity, energy\/power, education and unemployment crisis, the parties and the political actors are dancing around these critical issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also maintained that, \u201csadly, the North is currently being divided between Christians and Muslims and not-Muslim-enough, while the South is been ripped apart by propaganda that pitch Christians of the South West against their Muslim siblings; on the one hand, Yorubas against the Ibos on the other hand as well as the old against the young.\u201d<\/p>\n

The political parties, he said, have lost their voices and supremacy to the rampaging candidates and their army of supporters.<\/p>\n
