SUMMIT OVERVIEW:
“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy therefore, is education” – Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Political leaders as democratically elected representatives of the people who are vulnerable to de-selection, or re-call for ill-performance and operate within the constitutional provisions and the rule of law are bind to be relative and responsive.
The presence of political leaders in offices is informed by the collective mandate of the people to marshal state resources for the benefit of the commune to which they serve. The politics of public service is one which requires tact and strategy in dealing with a multiplicity of interests while maintaining administrative excellence in the implementation of progressive policies.
However, overarching the interest, they must do so within the ambit of the rule of law and constitutionally binding provisions. When the respect for the rule of law aligns with the interest to serve and the consistency in delivering benefits to constituents despite the ever-evolving global demands of geo-politics, then the true spirit of democracy can be said to be upheld.
This is a historic era in achievement of the citizens’ rights, Diaspora integration, civil society order, political equality and democratic peace. With the tremendous achievements in increasing political participation and public advocacy for civil liberties equal rights, for and by all interest’s groups in the society around the world, it is worthy to celebrate this laudable achievement which remains a far more significant democratic representation in politics at the macro and global scale. It is also important to celebrate the increasing awareness and inclusion of the various ethnic-nationalities in the democratic engagement both in the diaspora and developed countries, with the rising sustainability of a democratic structure on the African continent, though certain part of the continent has suddenly seen a major shift from democracy to militocracy in most resent, which is highly unacceptable in an evolving world of political dynamics.
