Politics too get wahala. River State na pdp state so i feel and know say na still pdp go win because wike no fit allow apc come take the state even if e wan comot as governor. I go use watin happen for my own state cite example, for the first time for years the masses came out and voted for a totally different person not because of party but his personality as a philanthropist and eventually he won and he was part of the opposite party (Apc) so the current government twisted the whole situation and turn things against him and disqualified him as the governor. This thing cause so many problems for my state because everyone voted and loved the apc candidate but politicians and their game no allow am rule.
From your citation, I guess you are talking about David Lyon of APC. It is unfortunate that the electorate could not resist them because of the Powers that be, they arm twisted everything against the masses that voted him into power and nothing could be don about it. This is the case of Nigeria politics where the elites do whatever they feel like doing and getting away with it while the people sit, fold their arms and watch doing nothing to protect their mandate. Back to Rivers State, I think this time around it would not be game as usual, the electorates are wiser and can not be deceived anymore. I know they would bring money, they would share money but this time around it will be shared in vain and they would fail woefully. The issue of retaining the state under one party system is not feasible anymore I think because gone are the days when the people are blinded with one party system but now, it is personality, what are your past track records, what have you been able to do before. All these would definitely speak for each and every one contender come 2023 gubernatorial election.
