Politics, it’s said, is a dirty game. So is there a way you can keep your hands clean and still participate in making things work in Nigeria- or at least keeping the people in charge accountable? According to Dr Joe Abah, there is a way, and it’s called governance.
He explains below:
You can be disinterested in Politics, like me, but you can't afford to be disinterested in Governance.

So, what is the difference between Politics and Governance? The two are related but different. Here are my definitions…

Reactions:
Politics is the process through which governance is conceived. Politics and governance is like sex and birth. You must be involved in both

The challenge is that most people are interested in politics and disinterested in governance

Politics is the forerunner of governance. Sanitise the political scenario, good governance will surely manifest.

Or sanitize/restructure the govt setting in a way that politics won't look so attractive/lucrative to thieves with little to offer

Weak institutions helps amplify politics in governance,Analogies like Federal character tilts towards politics than governance

Yes. The interest of the politician is simply to amplify institutional weaknesses and societal divisions in order to gain power.

Governance is engaging, in budgetary process, policy, laws etc, standing up for CBN independence— S. Ola Babalola (@sb2729) September 2, 2017
I'm interested in but petrified of (our)politics. It is difficult to do 1 here without the other. Without real power, governance's a bugger

Governance and politics are never perpendicular lines… They walk hand in hand..
So Sir, your a politician but maybe a passive one..Lol
