All indications show that the Governorship election in Ekiti
state was free and fair, except a late report from Sahara reporters that some INEC
accredited reporters from different media houses were denied access to the
Final Collation. Whereas we also wait For the Verdict from International
Observers, it is clear to Nigerians that the Government of the Day is Committed
to Play fair despite the fact that they are the Opposition in Ekiti State.
Two days before the
elections APC Governors were angry that they were denied access to Ekiti State
for a party rally in support of Gov Fayemi, (Gov Oshiomole and Gov Ameachi of
Edo and Rivers State respectfully) with the Governor of Rivers State claiming to
have been threatened with a Gun by the Nigerian Army. Now the Question is: what
Impact would the presence of Gov Ameachi or Gov Oshoimole have on the outcome
of the Ekiti Elections? What would they bring to the table that the presence of
Tinubu or Fashola hasn’t, I would say nothing significant enough to convince any ekiti citizen. Or did they have plans to support the campaign with One vote - One Envelope? Well that’s me
sharing my thoughts.
The other very important Question is; Can Failure in the
Ekiti Polls Mean Eminent Failure for APC? They have just lost one of their
major strong holds where they had the power of Incumbency to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Can they recover?
They are the loudest and always quick to blame and never
offer solution. This is obvious in the press statements they release anytime
Nigeria is in Crisis “Nigeria” not PDP. What really makes them progressives?
Progressive: Defined as promoting or favoring progress
towards conditions or new policies or methods, it is also defined as Gradually
advancing in extent; Increasing.
After Today’s Result and the attitude and strategy of the
APC (All Progressives Congress) Would you really call them Progressives? I will
leave you to answer that.
In closing I would like to ask you, yes!! You that’s always
complaining about the government and that always knows what should and should
not be. Do you have a party card (APC or PDP)? Do you vote? Don’t Sit and Talk,
get involved with the affairs of Nigeria today and maybe you can be that change
and Progress Nigeria Really Needs.
