The APC government have started their campaign by harassing, and intimating their opponents, this is a very wrong method of politicking, everyone is there to test their popularity, and whoever wins the mind of Nigerians should emerge. The APC government which which kept the economy of Nigeria in a very low level wants to come back to seat by all means, but we should bear in mind is not only battle between politicians, but is a political battle that also concern the citizens of Nigeria because whoever emerges as the president will lead the country, and the citizens.
As Nigerian citizens, we have to speak against any political oppression, and be wise while casting our votes. All we need is good governance, and we will stand to dislike any leader who doesn't want the comfort of Nigerians, but the leader that will project the interest of the common Nigerians and work towards economic growth, and stability.
We are tired of the activities of APC government, and a better leadership is what we want as Nigerians.

What is your take on this?

I think 2027 presidential election discussion and something related to the presidential election discussion are getting too many on this naija politics and societal board. What do you think about discussing everything on a single thread?

I think it would be good if a thread can be created for it so that everything can be discussed on the thread.

They are interesting discussions, but I do not think it is worth creating many topics for.

This election go bloody, no be small. People know what they are doing ooh. The selfishness of this Tinubu is alarming. Nigga wants to be the president by any means necessary. That's very bad for a country that keeps deceiving itself that they are practising democracy. Let's all keep pretending. This is just criminality.

As for Obi the quiet man. That is why things like this will keep happening. We need violence. Even in the bible it is said that the violent once takeeth it by force. That's what we need. Enough voltage to win back our country. Not this beging and pleading.
