TAN through its Director of Public Communications and Strategy, Dr Udenta O Udenta tasked politicians on issues-based campaign and avoid issues that are capable to generate rancor and bitterness like name calling, blackmailing, casting of aspersions and vituperation on the opponents.
Dr Udenta said that Jonathan who is contesting for the highest office in the land has set the tone by calling for the rules to take precedence on campaigns, noting that such was expected only from a good leader.
“This is all about leadership by example and pure evidence that Mr President is not desperate for his reelection bid. More so, don’t forget this is president that has been abused severally by the opposition like their children abuse their school mates. Yet he is not bothered because he is focused on transforming the country”he added,
The TAN spokesman urged all politicians to buy into the humble mind and play by the rules message of Mr president and avoid hitting the polity with inflammatory statements on campaign.
