“Rushing ahead of time may win attention, but it often loses respect.”

Even before the campaign season has been formally opened, aspirants are already making their intentions known. Speeches about intentions are already springing up, despite clear guidelines meant to regulate the process. The question on everyone’s mind is ‘why’? Could this be because of enthusiasm or the notion ‘first come, first serve’?


While enthusiasm for public office is not in itself a crime, the haste to outpace official timelines raises concerns about respect for due process. Many observers note that such early declarations often reflect more on ambition than on genuine service, setting a tone that undermines the credibility of the democratic process.


The rules exist for a reason: to provide fairness, order, and discipline. Yet with aspirants eager to steal the spotlight ahead of schedule, the atmosphere is quickly shifting from anticipation to a premature contest.


Instead of rushing prematurely, aspirants could use the waiting period more productively, by quietly planning, refining their ideas, and preparing strategies that would make their campaigns stronger and more organized when the ban is finally lifted. This not only shows discipline but also ensures that when the right time comes, they present themselves as thoughtful, ready, and well-prepared leaders.



Being able to maintain order and respect protocol is also a virtue NSASAITES look out for. Do what must be done but observe due diligence.
