NBA 2018 Elections: Why Each Aspirant Should Have A Clear Manifesto

Every aspirant for any balloting is expected to have a public
written declaration of principles, policies, and objectives.
Election is basically a process through which voters choose their
representatives.

As a factor of the principle of legitimacy which is an offshoot
of the age long concept of demokratia, it bars the
uprising of every form of discontentment since it is said to end
with the voice of the majority. But before an aspirant gets the
desired stanchion to pass the David Tremble’s
test, he or she who steps forth must as a staple of
sureness make a declaration of policies which in other words means
a manifesto.

The Use of manifesto during election is very essential since it
carries the million-answers for David Tremble’s test (Votes test).
More often than not, voters do not have the opportunity to know
their aspirants one on one. Other times, aspirants may not be
eloquent enough to convince voters with the words of the mouth.
Thus, it is always expected that declaration of policies are made
to convince voters of the objectives of the incoming administration
that should be a step further from the previous. It is not only a
convincing tool; it is document that contains the blueprint of any
aspirant.

A manifesto should not just comprehensively contain the current
plan, but also the future plan. It is expected to solve the ills
that have kept the society in check, stagnant, or deteriorated.
Therefore a manifesto should be the second thing to consider from
an aspirant after a personal assessment of the person’s integrity
has been made before every other thingamajig will fall in place.
This is because integrity is never a manifesto.

As the NBA election approaches, many aspirants have made known
their intention already. Supporters have started canvassing for the
candidates of their choice; holding the bud and smelling the black
rose. While supporters are convincing voters that their choice is
the only fragrance in Turkey, it must be emphasized that integrity
check and manifesto are two basic keys to winning the race. The Bar
has gone beyond the presentation of a heavy resume, because resume
will not move the bar forward, even though it tells how experienced
an aspirant is.

The Bar must move beyond sentiments. It must consider a better
bar and a profession which nobility will be spoken of for many
eons. Aspirants must be able to give something new; something that
has never been given before. And even if it has been given, it must
be refined with innovations that project ideas unimaginable.

The bar is waiting to see a manifesto that gives
priority to lawyer’s welfare; a manifesto that count the
young lawyers as important cottons; a manifesto that will improve
the life of the average Nigerian lawyer. The Bar is waiting to see
a manifesto that will introduce the Nigerian legal profession,
fully to the global age; an age where E-lawyering, will envelope
the system more than a 90%. The legal profession yawns for
accountability of the outgoings of practicing fees and the full
dividends of good administration; an administration that will be
applauded for utilizing to a reasonable number’s satisfaction, the
bar’s investment, that indeed: the bar is moving forward.

So the message to the aspirants is pretty simple:
Give us your manifesto and not
sentiments; though it is minded that precious
performance is an advance not ignored.
