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.

Obviously evil persist in our democracy not because of those who mastermind the evil but because of those who watch evil happen. When citizens don't show up in an election because of the belief that it is already rigged, it makes the rigging even more easier for the riggers. Like you said, if citizen learn to come en masse to vote and defend their vote it becomes challenging for the riggers and more difficult to rig in an election.

Even though our democracy is in shambles all hands must be on deck to ensure that we achieve the ideal democracy and this can only manifest when all citizens of voting age learn to exercise their civic duty of voting for a candidate in an election. Your candidate is the right candidate so it is always wise to vote for a candidate. Afterall, the fact that there are different candidates makes it an election.
