The Minister of Works and Housing, Babtunde Fashola on Tuesday urged Nigerians to vote in the 2023 elections based on track record, and not with anger.
Mr Fashola made this appeal while reacting to someone who said Nigerians may vote in "anger during 2923 polls, at the sixth edition of the annual “BRF GABFEST” in Lagos.
He appealed to the electorate to look at the track record of the candidates contesting for elections in the 2023 elections.
“I urge you to vote by looking at what the candidates have done before, this is like asking for the referees during an interview or talking to a previous employer. This is how to recruit an employee. Not by anger,” Mr Fashola said.
He equally urged Nigerians not to expect every candidate to attend all the townhall meetings and debates they may organise towards the elections.
“In doing so, we must be sensitive, because the candidates cannot attend all debates and town hall meetings. In some cases, we must be willing to accept their accredited spokesperson but this must be an exception and not the rule," Minister of Works said.
