Unlike the typical Nigerian political scene, which often features long convoys of SUVs, blaring sirens, and hundreds of "area boys" or security detail, this Japanese aspirant was standing on a public sidewalk, personally engaging with citizens.

"You are the one? Wow," the lady was heard saying in the video as she shook hands with the smiling politician. "You are contesting for governorship?"

The Japan-based lady highlighted that the candidate was simply talking about his manifesto and offering handshakes to anyone willing to listen. She noted the absence of any "flamboyant" display of wealth or power.

"This is how they campaign. Simple. Standing on the road and sharing flyers. I don't know if we can learn a thing or two from this," she told her followers.
