Former member of the House of Representatives, Farah Dagogo, has called on the electorate to engage in deep reflection and renewed civic responsibility ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Dagogo in a goodwill message to mark the observance of Eid-el-Fitr and the Christian Lenten season, urged citizens to take active roles in shaping their future by electing leaders committed to policies designed to improve livelihood and promote national development.
Dagogo in the goodwill message signed by his Media Aide, Ibrahim Lawal, extended warm greetings to both Muslim and Christian faithful, commending their sacrifice, discipline, and devotion during the period of fasting .
He pointed out that the overlap of Ramadan and Lent at the onset of the electoral cycle carried symbolic and spiritual significance.
According to Dagogo, the alignment of the observances offered a unique opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on moral values and apply them to the political process.
He said, “I celebrate with Muslims and Christians on this rare convergence of Ramadan and Lent at the beginning of an election cycle. It underscores a profound spiritual dimension that should guide our national choices,” he said.
He harped on the importance of translating the lessons of sacrifice, discipline, and compassion into informed electoral decisions and encouraged voters to critically assess candidates’ promises and track records, particularly those seeking re-election.
“As we internalize the values of these sacred periods, we must allow them to inform our decisions at the ballot box. Citizens should scrutinize campaign pledges and objectively evaluate the performance of those who have previously held public office,” he said.
Dagogo further stressed that effective governance depended on leaders, who were responsive to the aspirations of the people, urging voters to prioritize competence, accountability, and integrity in their choices.
He enjoined Nigerians to harness the moral and spiritual lessons of the periods to foster responsible citizenship and strengthen the country’s democratic process.
