2023 Gubernatorial Elections Discussion Thread {Focus on Lagos & Rivers States}

[Yawa2020]

It's a shame that our country don become another thing when it comes to election matter. Peso go vote finish, em vote no go count atal. Check out nah, for my state the whole house of Assembly election wey happen, na APC win all the 27 local governments wey d for my state. No single one wey other political parties win despite not voting for APC.

You see this our election matter, INEC don write the result finish for the highest bidder before the election happen sef.


From what I can grab from this our election be sae, our election doesn't count. Na selection of candidates wey d happen for the country during election.

Like seriously, I really no know how you people dey reason at times. Always ready to call Nigeria with all sorts of defamation and disrespect. No matter what is happening, it is still our father's land and na we go make am better. For the fact that your prefer candidate won in your PU no means say they go win the overall election. Na game of number. E no be new thing for one party to win all the seat. In my state, the previous council election held in November/December last year deliver SDP in one local government from council chairman to all the councilors in that LG despite my state is an APC control state and nobody talk. Again na SDP won the assembly election in that LG but APC won the governorship. My point is that you no vote a particular party no means say others no go vote them. It's simple as that.

*Na only House of Assembly election wey my state do. No governorship election happen
Reminder: My state governorship election go happen around November. Based on sae na that time wey my state governor tenure(4years) go expire.

As you cast your vote finish, you no no Wettin other people vote, therefore we need to de speak for ourselves.
I notice say we don de get transparent election for dis country because we don de see changes from d candidates wey de win the election.

Sometimes, me and you fit de shout d same party, but wen it come to voting we fit get different candidate for mind, wetting make una get house of assembly for 27 states mean say una people still de do APC na only you fit de think say dem don divert if not at least some parties suppose win, but e show say una really vote them in, therefore, make we get positive thoughts about dis election make we no de always reason say na rig dem de rig am.

The kind level of political apathy wey go follow after this disgrace wey INEC call election ehn, next four years if you tell person say make e come out come vote, e go ask you why e go waste him time when him vote no go count, and that is true, it is a sham, and INEC should be ashamed of itself for spending billions of taxpayers money, only to conduct this nonsense.

I sure say e go pass four years, because like this ehn, as for myself I nor sure say I nor even wan vote again with the yeye rubbish dem do for presidential election. And just as you have said, make everybody just find way focus on their life for this our country because with the level of apathy that this election has inspired, you see that interest in politics that the youths have, It is being suffocated already, and in no time you will see that only a few youths will be interested in anything politics or selection, sorry election.

I no even bother myself yesterday, i no even waste my time to follow the election online or to go out and vote, Feb 25th show me say na evil people get this country, so why i go enter polling unit go waste my time when the results can be manipulated with ease,

When the result can be manipulated right in your face to show you that you cannot do anything. Our politicians need to be studied, their confidence level is very high.

Na me go tell una as my state be and as everything take played out for my state during the House of Assembly election. No be una go tell me otherwise sae it's possible for one particular party to claim all the Local Government for the state without having other parties like one or two that win election of the House of Assembly.

In House of Assembly, there supposed to be a minority group(parties) that will be in the House at least. Not having a ohh yes parties members that go with what the governor says.

In the history of my state House of Assembly, never has a particular party claim all the 27 local government of the state. Em never happen before. My state people go attest to it, sae this election wey happen this time, our governor do so many woroworo inside to elect em party members inside against the governorship election wey go happen for November

Make I clear una mind; As my state d so, na the peso wey come 3rd for governorship election, na em Supreme Court say make em rule us and una d hear wan tell me sae it's possible sae get free and fair election wey happen for my state via House of Assembly.

I get your point my broda nor be lie you talk. Even me shock sef when I see the news, I say how this take dey possible. Because na the first time me dey hear or see that kind tin sef. And as e be now nobody wey dey honest go fit beat hand for chest say no wuruwuru enter become how come? And for you state wey e be say the people and the government no dey align, the people wey nor trust or like the government at all neither the party. Dem nor fit try vote that party again. We see alot of irregularities sef and that one dey enough to tell us say both INEC dey complicit for the matter like this. And dem sabi why dem do am, vey soon una governorship election go hold and one way wey the incumbent fit retain power na if him get the support of the members wey dey the state house as na dem go do better underground work. We dey observe sha we hope say him plan go fail.

I see say many people don Dey ember the aparthy thing but I will say make we no give up. Even as INEC bin just Dey do anyhow I see positive changes this year. People bin come out to vote and then no just vote party na candidate. This BVAS actual curtail mass voting, if na b4 we go Dey say one state carry millions of votes give one candidate. But not anymore. The manual coalition of result bin cause problem but once we fit address that issue we go see front wella. Watin sweet me be say sitting Governors bin Dey lose senatorial seats and governorship seats to mostly unknown candidates. PDP and APC no be the only political party wey get force now, others don join. I know most of us Dey vex because of how presidential election play out but make we no forget about politics because weather we like am or not we need people to represent us

Why we dey deceive ourselves, na only presidential campaign wey people vote individual wey be Peter Obi, the rest na party wey people vote, even where Labour party win as in positions no body sabi those wey dey there na just say dem be Labour party members so people begin vote them. Oya make we look Otti wey win for Abia state as governor under Labour party, that man was a APC member just few months back wey he last year but as him move go Labour party na so him begin gather followers and many people wey vite am just do so to pay back as dem wan both APC and PDP to commot for their state.

Typical no major new politicians was produced in this election which means we just recycle the old fools no matter the party then dey and we dey think say them go do better. The only politicians wey I know wey new na those labour party candidates wey win for north wey dem be nobody (dat story been trend for twitter wey him be taxi driver abi wetin self, I dun forget). Among everybody wey we vote for fir this election, abeg who be the youths abi we dun forget say na youthful leaders we been dey fight for.

The governorship election don run for many of the states for Nigeria and em remain some few states like Anambra, Imo, Bayelsa(na d states wey I know wey no follow for d just concluded governorship election) wey remain to carry out their own election.

News wey d reach be sae the EFCC boss, Aldulrasheed Bawa don reveal that the agency would arrest corrupt governors who's tenure ends on May 29.

How una take see the matter as EFCC boss going after corrupt governors after May 29? Cos Wike don talk sae em go honour the invitation if the invite am over.

The earlier we choose competence over party politics the better Nigeria politics will be. Most of those that came into power during this election running on the hype of labour party might be the flag bearer for APC or PDP in the next election.
These politicians rarely care about us the citizens like they care for the position they hold. And we should still choose competence over young leaders as well, Desmond Elliot is a a good example of young and incompetent leader we have in this country based on how much the people of his constituency hates him
