Political Peer Pressure

Peer Pressure.
We often think about peer pressure in the negative and usually as it concerns teenagers and young people. Well, there's positive peer pressure too, and it exists amongst adults and in the business arena also.

As I think about the forthcoming elections in Nigeria, I am counting on peer pressure, positive peer pressure to be a factor in the performance of the APC team at the Centre.

I have looked at PDP, and really cannot tell who PDP is except a parade of people whose effect on one another is to pressure one another into buying jets and living high.

I have hope, that the Fasolas of APC and other performing governors and citizens, if working at the Centre, will constitute positive peer pressure to encourage and challenge one another to actually work for the people. So, you see, it's not just about Buhari and Osinbajo. It's about the atmosphere, the mindset, and the work ethic.

We need a new kind of competition, a bench marking against the best, not the worst, against the savers, not the spendthrift. We need a new normal.

Show me your friends...
