Governor Willie Obiano |
It is the position of the
leadership of International Society for
Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law that the two pillars holding the
democratic foundation in modern time particularly in Africa are laid on input
and output legitimacies. When a governor emerges in an election through
credible popular votes, his or her emergence becomes a product of input
legitimacy. But if he or she emerges otherwise, his or her emergence
becomes a product of mechanical legitimacy. Output
legitimacy is the case when the input legitimate governor changes
and upgrades the socio-economic conditions of his or her people and their
environmental abode through innovative and creative governing styles.
