Only the vigilance of patriotic Nigerians and Peter Obi’s followers will be able to halt the 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election and the incumbent’s attempts to rig the election that is not going in the APC’s favor.
On February 25, more than 93 million people cast ballots to choose a president and senators for Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa. Nevertheless, claims with video and photographic evidence indicate that the ruling APC may have attempted to rig the elections and influence Nigerians’ will.
Nigerians are casting their votes in an election that is predicted to improve the lot of the majority and set the country back on the path to wealth and a dignified existence.
The Labour Party, led by Peter Obi, has received a lot of support in this election, giving the populace hope for the future of Nigerian politics. But, recent reports indicate that there are attempts to rig the poll in favor of the APC.
The elections have been marked by thugs and ballot snatchers, with multiple groups of thugs stealing vote boxes. One of these videos showed alert adolescents apprehending a voting box thief.
The defendant was found to be in possession of many unthumb-printed ballots after his detention. When only adults are allowed to vote in elections, children have been seen on camera casting ballots.
However, in response to the footage, the Police claimed that only the Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria could determine whether or not the individuals in the films were actually children. The youngsters who appear on television, though, won’t be more than 10 years old.
In defense of the minor voters, Mohamed Yakubu, CP of Kano State, suggested that growth might be genetically compromised.
At this crucial juncture, public vigilance continues to be the most effective watchdog for saving the Nigerian state and its citizens from a leadership that is anti-growth and backward-looking.
The returning officer who altered the results and cleaned the initial results, which favored the Labour Party and Peter Obi, was called out in the video by the lady and the gentleman.
In a another incident, thugs who tried to grab vote boxes and interfere with elections in a different region of Nigeria injured a woman. The woman needed to be taken to a local medical facility. She returned covered in blood and wounds to cast her vote.
That one action exemplifies the Nigerian people’s determination to end the existing tough living conditions brought on by the country’s unreliable political leadership and to take up a fresh fight for a better Nigeria with their blood and sweat.
The Nigerian people need to be extra watchful and defend their votes and decisions even though Peter Obi appears to be in the lead in the presidential contest. African elections are frequently unexpected.
