4 traits of Nigerian politicians

Politicians in Nigeria have been known to possess some similar traits which are not good qualities of a leader.

However, Nigeria ends up with these politicians who lack remorse.

In a publication cited on Legit.ng, brings to you four traits of a politician in the country.

1. Loves cosmetic projects, eye service and praise singers

Without beating about the bush, politicians in this clime love praise singers. They love people who will always tell them what they wish to hear. Not only this, Nigerian politicians are mostly in love with projects that might be beautiful on the surface but without durability.

2. Say anything to win an election

In an election period, anything goes. This is an undocumented motto among Nigeria politicians. They believe the electioneering period gives them the license to make promises they know will never be fulfilled. Making empty promises is a thing of joy among them since they know that nobody would hold them accountable.

3. Easily forget promises

Apart from making empty promises they never intend to keep, politicians in Nigeria are skilled at conveniently forgetting their vows, even those that can be easily kept.

4. Have no permanent friends

There are no permanent friends in politics they say. But the case of Nigerian politicians is on another level. Governors and their deputies might be elected as best friends, before they leave office, they might have become bitter enemies. In fact, a politician might praise another today and in a month's time, call him all sorts of names in public.
