The above headline captures the deep public frustration with recycled political elite who engage in superficial campaign with empty promises.

As the country inches closer to a new round of campaigns, Nigerians are in for new rounds of elite maneuvering that prioritises office over actual governance.

It has been a continuous rotation of the same political actors across different parties and offices, preventing new and genuine systemic changes.

Manifestos have always centred on security, jobs, and the economy without tangible implementation frameworks or accountability.

An intense, early focus on alignments, defections, and structural control that distract leaders from resolving urgent socio-economic hardships like inflation and insecurity.
