Candidate's Pledge

The political season is now in full gear!


Hopefully, these candidates-to-be would include in their platforms “a moral crusade” since graft and corruption in the public (and even private) sector is a prime problem facing the nation! And, of course, poverty.

To put flesh to this moral crusade platform, hopefully also, candidates would make a written pledge under oath thus:


“I ASPIRE TO BE ELECTED/LEADER NOT TO GAIN POWER OR SECURE MATERIAL THINGS/ADVANTAGE – BUT TO SERVE FOR AMDG (the greater

glory of God) AND COUNTRY”


Incidentally, 13 Presidential aspirants did a “walk-in” and made written pledges under oath to uphold clean, honest elections.


After being elected, these public officials who violate this oath will not only be MORALLY guilty, but also subject to prosecution for PERJURY.
