“It’s clearly shows we don’t have any thing called a democratic electoral system but a selection system of government across board. From the intimidation of voters, attacks, different patterns to turning down voters with the scare of violence using their all their state machinery like the thugs and rogues in different uniforms shooting over the night to scare other party agents from attending the arithmetics rigging of results across different collation centers in Lagos and treats also coming from traditionalist with the announcement of having ORO festival during elections declare by their Stools in traditional attires OBA’s and BAALE’s just to scare people away from performing their civil Rights as a citizen.
“My message to the mass is that we don’t need to relent but to keep Fighting for good governance through the Process of Revolution because their already planned and designed the election to suite themselves, so we are left with the only option of a Revolution to take back what duly belong to us which is Good Governance.
