As the 2019 election draws near, politicians have been urged to concentrate their campaigns around issues and not personal attacks that do not lead healthy political environment.
The executive director of CCIDESOR, Obidi Mgbemena called on the politicians to be issue-based in campaigns, especially talking about issues of good governance, accountability and transparency and how they will carry citizens along in the policies.
He charged citizens to document campaign promises made around good governance components against personal and selfish promises that will not draw development to the communities.
CCIDESOR therefore charges Imo state aspirants to base their campaign around how much their emergence will ensure good governance in the state. the internationally recognized civil society organization, CCIDESOR posited that once campaign is articulated around ensuring open budget, which gives birth to accountability, transparency and citizens participation, the political space will be more issue-based competitive than what obtains, where personal attacks veer politicians off the real issues of development.
