CYCLE OF WINNING AND DEFEAT IN A CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY



...Nigerians, wake up... 


Former president Trump won elections but  suffered a defeat in his bid to win a second term. The opposition criticized him using all media platforms especially the CNN


As the main voice of opposition party after his loss to president Biden, Trump criticized the ruling government and he won Kamala Harris in a dramatic come back. 


Without the voicing concerns against abortions, LGBTQIA, economy and immigration, VP Kamala Harris would had won and continued with the policies of president Biden or possibly advanced them. 


Constructive Criticism helped defeat the ruling party in USA. Nigeria needs strong opposition party to challenge ruling parties from the Local government to state levels not only the FG level. We need to address the problems at state levels to function well in true federalism. Ask members of state assemblies, national Assembly , local councilors and local government Chairmen to sit up. Challenge governors. These are the closest in democracy before the President


In legislature the Opposition Party has a major role, which is:


Constructive criticism of government.


Putting restriction on arbitrariness of ruling party.


Safeguarding liberty and right of people.


Preparation to win and form government.


Expression of public opinion.


The opposition party has a duty to offer voters a credible alternative to the government in office and to make the ruling government accountable. 


Most importantly is to be a credible alternative, however, the opposition must also be ready to exercise the responsibilities to which it aspires on a lasting basis.


The voice of opposition of Mr Peter Obi shook Nigeria and turned the tides in favor of a little known party, LABOR PARTY to a big force


Democracy make available the power to choose only when the opposition party and ruling party challenge themselves 


Citizens get to hear hidden truth only when there is a clash of political titans


Even in Christianity, you have a choice of denominations. You are either Catholic, or protestant. There is viable way of making democracy..One is by constructive Criticism 


Stop blaming native doctors, imams, pastors and priests for the woes of Nigeria


Demand good LEADERSHIP from elected leaders. It's part of democracy 


Nigeria shall rise again


Bishop Chinedu Nwoye
