Decrying the act of vote buying witnessed during the recently held general elections in the State, Mr Iboro Otu said that ideological politics is what is needed now to move the State forward.


Otu stated that "it is time to reach out to the people and educate them that the worst thing that can happen to us is vote buying. With certain policies like this social  governance ideologies on ground to educate citizens on what good governance, vote buying can be phased out".


Speaking too in support of the ideological politics and good governance as what is required to move the State forward, Mr Victor Akai said "if we have an ideology of disempowering a people, then there is also another way to empower the people".


Akai posited that "if the 'top to bottom' approach has failed us then common sense should make us understand that it's time to change the approach to 'bottom to top' approach as embedded in the Social Governance Fundamentals".
