The Accord Party presidential candidate, Prof. Christopher Imumolen, has reiterated his commitment to an issue and solution-based electioneering for the 2023 presidential election.
He said in convincing the electorates, he would be analysing the challenges facing the country and his plans in tackling those challenges and bringing shared prosperity to Nigerians.
In a statement on Wednesday by his campaign organisation, the 39-year-old presidential candidate explained that his campaign would be tailored toward promoting democratic values even in his bid to sway electorates for votes.
He decried the situations where public office seekers make promises on the eve of important elections only to retract their promises when they get elected.
“As a responsible political party, Accord has been actively involved in promoting democratic values, just as we have been in the vanguard of enhancing the quality of the lives of our people through our various empowerment programmes.
“Our popularity stems from what we represent, hence the huge confidence in our ability by the people especially at a time we are gunning for the seat of the president of the country.
“So, we are going to be sticking with this standard we have set as we will not just be campaigning with promises but with solutions.
“Unlike some other contestants whose style is vote buying, we would be doing tangible things that will endure in the life of the people.
“For instance, when you give out scholarships to thousands of cash-strapped students in order to help their academic pursuits or give out loans to farmers to enhance their agricultural activities or give financial aid to SMEs, you are doing something in their lives that would endure.
“I think that’s a much better way to affect the lives of the people than trying to buy their votes on a massive scale on election day,” the statement read.
The presidential candidate, therefore, called on his co-aspirants to demonstrate that they have the interest of the people at heart by following his examples of giving to improve lives.
