Conclusions posted on mini and big buses as well as tricycles that ply our roads, bus attendants and drivers could also be encouraged to distribute voter education leaflets to passengers at little or no cost. Pre­recorded voter education messages can be aired at little or no cost by commercial drivers. Apart from responding to election logistics logjam, this envisaged partnership with transport unions will, inadvertently though, help to overcome or rather mitigate intimidating challenges of securing Nigeria's electoral process. When we remember the demography of transport workers, particularly, the preponderance of youths in their memberships, getting them involved in the electoral process under conditions of aggressive voter education, will certainly weaken their vulnerability to being used as cannon fodders by politicians. Security surveillance of motor parks by drug control agencies in the context of new orientation for transport workers would distract the latter from involvement in anti-social activities. When all these are made to happen simultaneously, then the perception of politics as a do-or-die affair may begin to change and the notion of politics as a zero-sum game should begin to whither. Politics and competition for political offices should be regarded more as a call to service and make life more abundant to the generality of our people rather than a means of self service and personal aggrandisement. Our political and electoral reforms need to go deeper to cause a shift in the rigid mindset of an average Nigerian that regard winning as an imperative. Politics is a market place for ideas and for making choices that are in accord with people's interests. The currency for making such choices is the ballot paper which all stakeholders must secure at all cost otherwise the choice is fettered. 108 Appendix I Being a Communique Issued at the End of the Workshop Organized by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)/Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung(FES) on'Election Security: Stakeholders' Perspective,' Held on the 26th and 27th May, 2014 at the Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort, Ikogosi, Ekiti State Preamble: Worried by the spate of violence and conflict in the electoral violence, the INEC and FES organized a two­day workshop on'Election Security: Stakeholders' Perspectives' with Stakeholders on Electoral Process on 26th and 27th May, 2014 at Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort, Ikogosi, Ekiti State.
