They say seeing is believing, but in Nigeria, people don’t believe in what they see, feel, or touch. From the recently concluded presidential election in Nigeria, I believe people can’t even believe in what they see because of blind passions.
Let me digress appropriately, PDP is the founder of modern-day corruption in Nigeria, they have become the biggest financiers of rigging/corruption in this country; they spent $16 Billion in trying to generate energy without even producing a single candlelight.
If PDP had won this election, Nigeria would have finally taken a journey to an unknown destination, with the costs of essential commodities like fuel, rice, and garri out of reach of the common man, for example, a measure of a ‘mudu’ of carry would have been N3,000. This is what I mean by a journey to an unknown destination, making your ‘eba’ without soup.
The PDP went into this election as dead on arrival, because the candidate went into the contest violating the basics of its constitution, the pilot could not create the required angle of elevation for enough take-off of the election flight, and Atiku settled for a not-too-agile running mate as if these were not enough drawbacks, he again retained the chairman from one region, thus joining the contest on minus 10 or 11 states.
All these gave birth to the dreaded G5 and the Ohanaeze Ndigbo declaration raising alarm that the hawk was snatching the turn of their region, thus making Atiku go into the battleground without its legendry strongholds of the PDP; the G5, the South East Region, and Kwankwaso/Kano. The die was cast! Tell me why Atiku went to court.
The structures of the PDP are pro-North, the Labour Party is pro-South while the APC is pro-Nigeria. What do you need to see before you will believe that APC won this election, APC/BAT/Shettima simply went into this contest as a certified Nigerian candidate while the PDP and LP went as regional champions without alliances at the backseats. Nigerians can’t still believe what they see.
Peter Obi has become the founder of modern elections in Nigeria, he does NOT need to become a president to become this, his obedient movement stopped seven serving governors from winning smaller units of their states into the senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
By this, Obi has been admitted and passed the examination of the first year of the presidential academy of Nigeria, he must wait to graduate from this presidential academy to eventually triumph. Buhari and Tinubu have graduated!
Another phenomenon Nigeria people should see and believe is the other elections; APC harvested most of the other categories pumping out its chest in the Senate, House of Representatives, the Governors, and state Houses of assembly.
Tinubu/Shettima welcome to Nigeria as the new president, as u step into this seat of the various challenges of a diversified nation, I know your capability will triumph over these challenges; notable amongst them is the huge foreign debt of about N77bn and the economy which we believe your previous expertise will help to dwindle the debts and boost the economy in record time.
As the development politician that you have been, please carry along all our Christian partners to shame the antagonists of your harmonised candidacy to bring together an array of citizens that can take this country to an elevated height.
The citizens stand by your mandate.
God bless Nigerians without evil men.
