Why is Dorry Okojie in politics? How do Nigerians see politics and politicians?
Unarguably, some see politics as a game in which people go into for the pursuit and actualization of self- serving goals. That is merely putting it euphemistically.
In general sense, politics as a concept is broad. Here we are interrogating politics as it relates to a state of engagements and activities surrounding the acquisition of power. The centrality of power in politics and what is done with such power once acquired is the kernel of this treatise.
As Dorry Okojie doubles down on his political engagements , what does he intend to do with power if the people, through the instrumentality of the ballot box, give it to him?
Many Edo people, especially those who have been studying his steps and know where he is coming from, are convinced that the man Dorry represents a new force whose intention to be the next Governor of Edo is to unleash a new set of governance ideas on the State.
As the ideas continue to unfurl, the prospects of a renewed wave of “people based” participation in mobilization for him look bright.
The spike in public enthusiasm in participation in driving the Dorry project underscores the attractiveness of the governance ideas he represents and epitomizes.
