Presidential, Senate and House of Representatives election has come and gone. Nigerians indeed have decided. Yes, some decided by not going to vote, the majority who voted decide by voting either PDP or APC while other decided by rigging the election, to make sure they win, because to them, winning is a do or die affair.
In Nigeria, we are good with analyzing the effects of governance, criticizing and complaining about the problem of recycling leaders that do the same old things again and again without any positive impact, but we fail over and over again to stand by the truth whenever it is our opportunity to decide who will govern us. We are so addicted to popularity, strong political structure, reigning parties, etc that we fail to look at things the other way round to see the outcome.
Kingsley Muoghalu was right when during the presidential debate, he said that the two popular parties believe that they already have Nigerians in their cage and there is no escape. Judging by the votes cast by Nigerians, it is obvious that we are so obsessed about recycled leaders and popular parties.
The fact that APC and PDP are the stronger parties doesn’t mean that our votes must go to them; they will not flog or kill us if we try somewhere else because there is freedom of choice. The majority didn’t want to vote for other parties other than APC or PDP simply because the other parties do not have a strong political structure and are not popular; therefore, they should not waste their votes on them. They already believe that those parties will lose with the lesser votes they will get. What we don’t seem to reason out is; if we that are thinking that way decide to think and act positively, we will become the majority that will give other parties a winning vote and make them popular.
We have decided, and our choice parties have rigged the election. Here we are, at the beginning of another four years of managing our long recycled leaders, if there is something I am happy about, it is because I proved that I am not in the cage of either APC or PDP, even though my choice candidate lost, at least I have shown that I can exercise my will freely. APC and PDP do not own me and they do not own Nigeria. A soldier must go and another soldier must come.
Even from the result of our votes as listed below, the final results recognized only APC and PDP. We still have a long way to go.
Congratulations Nigeria! Long Live Nigeria! God Save Nigeria!
