If the entire leadership of Rivers State can be suspended over personal reasons, it clearly shows that our leaders are not upholding the constitution properly. They have no genuine love for the citizens in their hearts. It also shows that our democracy is no longer based on votes.

Recently, during the local government elections held across the country, candidates were declared winners even before INEC officials could complete the voting process. That alone tells you everything you need to know.

I sincerely wish Nigerians could vote for a political party that is neither APC nor PDP. Even the Labour Party doesn’t seem truly committed to representing the people's interests.

If Omoyele Sowore eventually contests for president, I might vote for him. Otherwise, I would rather stay home and sleep on election day because it no longer feels like our votes count. May God spare our lives.

One thing is certain: Baba Bola Tinubu is likely to win again, so let’s be prepared for it.

You started well, but you end up saying rubbish. this mentality of if not your preferred candidate then you are out is killing the democracy more. You are a young man, going home to sleep on election day because your candidate won't win is not a great ideas. You must learn how to have option, Omoyele sowore is not the only qualified candidate in Nigeria, they are other people you can cast your vote for and wait till the vote is counted.

Nigeria democracy is in wrong hands, Tinubu who claimed to be a Democrat just nailed themself for declaring state of emergency in Rivers state, that declaration spoilt everything he ever stand against as an advocate. In the next election we must vote and stand by our votes, to stop rigging and vote buying. The only way we can stop Tinubu is to join the coalition and vote massively for a good candiate they will present.

Bro, you don't know how deep this issue is. Maybe you are no longer on Nigerian soil.

Recently, during the local government elections, I traveled to my local government area to support my candidate. Before the election process could even be concluded, all the APC chairmanship candidates were declared winners.

It’s extremely discouraging and painful to witness something like that; to waste your time, effort, and money, only for your vote not to count. Hmm, it is easy to say on social media than done. I am talking from experience, I know what am saying and not lying.
In all the 16 local government areas in my state, about 13 to 15 voted for PDP. Yet, APC was announced the winner across the board.

It has gotten to the point where it feels like, "if you can't beat them, join them." After all, everyone can be paid ; there is enough money to go around. So why waste your time trying to fight or stand up to them?

Even worse, the PDP candidates took them to court, but till today, there is no hope that justice will ever be served.

Furthermore, Tinubu is like a smart virus; he controls the INEC chairman, he controls the Chief Judge of Nigeria, and he holds the power. Just name anything that could stop him; he has it in his pocket.

You and I know that Nigerian elections are no longer real. I won’t even say too much, because most Nigerian youths are only fighting for their rights on Twitter and forums; in reality, you hardly see any of them on the ground taking action.
