REASON 1: SELFISHNESS

Selfishness is one of the most common reason why leaders abandon their campaign promises.
They ignore the promises they made, abandone their follower's demands for their personal gains.


This is mostly practiced by corrupt politicians who assume office to gain and not to serve and render services.


Mostly, the follower's demands will be funded but the leader will divert the fund to his personal savings, as he is building him self not the people and community.


Such leaders should be avoided, this is because they promote corruption, and it is of no doubt that corruption kills nation's economy.


To avoid this, a leader with clear manifestors, trustworthy, with clean records and patriotic should be choosen over anyone.



REASON 2: INTEREST OF THE POLITICAL PARTY

Another reason why leaders fail to fulfil their political promises is political party.


Some leaders may have the zeal and personal will to do better for their followers but may get stopped by their political parties if it is not of their interest.


Political parties play a vital role in attaining a political office of any elected leader, so following their instructions is his way of saying thank you.


To avoid this, political party should also be a factor to be considered before electing someone into any position.


Know the party's manifestors, goals, missions, visions, aims and objectives and many more things before voting for their candidate.



REASON 3: ABSENCE OF REPRESENTATIVES

A president or governor forexample can't do it alone, they can't visit every hook and nook to explore where their attention is needed, they need representatives at both federal and state level respectively.


Representatives are chosen and elected by followers, so you should elect wisely.


You should elect representatives that will visit you to ask of what you need so they will forward your request to state or federal government and ensure the projects are accomplished.


Our leaders are humans like us, they forget things including what they promised, it is our duty to remind them of their promises through our representatives.



REASON 4: EMERGENCE

Emergence is one of the reasons why politicians abandone their followers.
If a particular community fail to vote for the leader, he may abandone them and concentrate on the community that voted for him.


This is like to say, you didn't vote for me so expect nothing from me! And he will focus and direct all his projects and works to where he got most of his vote from.


This is a very bad attitude which is to be avoided, a leader is for all, those that vote for him and those that didn't, their rights are on him, he is leading all not a faction, so he must work for all.


Projects should be directed to where they are needed in a scale of its urgency with zero respect to whether the residents of that place voted for him or didn't during elections.
