Here's 2019š
When we first did it in #NigeriaDecides2019, people suddenly realized that even though they were supporting a particular candidate (e.g Buhari), it's not logical based on REALITY of our Politics to expect APC to have clean sheet in the South East...
In the previous #RealityPoll we did in #NigeriaDecides2019, we only made use of 2 leading candidates.
With ASSUMPTION that @PeterObi & @KwankwasoRM will not step down before 25 February 2023 Presidential election (THEY ARE LIKELY), we shall include them.

Present at that report were people from @inecnigeria @HQNigerianArmy @PoliceNG @official_NSCDC and a host of other actors in the election and security matrix.
The report was adopted, and INEC promised to do better. bit.ly/3aIxnp4

Having pointed out all of this, we must come to terms with the flaws in our system and figure out ways around them.

#NIGERIADECIDES2023: THE REAL ISSUE
Yesterday, @AriyoAristotle gave a scoop on the behemoth against the smooth passage of a clean #ElectoralBill towards a clean 2023 polls. The last 24hours, one had expected vehement reactions against SP Ahmad Lawan & his led @NGRSenate, zilch.

2/ At a public hearing, Dec 9, 2020, @NGRSenate & @HouseNGR assured the #ElectoralBill 'll be passed on or before March 31, 2021.
Today is March 30, 2021, but feelers from @nassnigeria, indicate the @DrAhmadLawan-led @NGRSenate ain't committed towards a clean elections in 2023.

3/ Irrespective of the political leaning, a clean #AmendedElectoralAct should concern you. Such Act should:
- Allow @inecnigeria call for nominations at least 360days to election & submission of candidates lists not later than 6months. This solves pre-election litigation issues.

In June 2020, @CivicMediaLab declared Kaduna the most dangerous state in #Nigeria. Its record of 493 persons killed between Jan & June, is higher than reported deaths in the #BokoHaram/ISWAP terrorised territories of Borno; 290, Adamawa; 37 and Yobe; 5.

A few days ago, twitter.com/arbiterznigeria tagged me in this article - bit.ly/37leH8f which is a response to this article by @DavidHundeyin - bit.ly/2uoWUyr.

Unfortunately, what is meant to be a criticism of David's piece falls flat in my view.
It is not enough to render David's warnings as "alarmist", it is important to also properly scope the problem.
The article limits its scope to the NURTW.

Let me start with his view (I assume it's a 'he') on NURTW's lack of ideological pitch, it is important to note that #Nigeria lost the battle of ideological governance after the first coup.
At such, no one has needed an ideology to govern this country.

One of #Nigeria's leading road transporters, @PMTNigeria has about 65 terminals in 26 states, employing thousands directly or indirectly & facilitating integration across the country. It's supposed to be 1 of those SMMEs that govt all over the country shd support
Early in 2018, as the rat-race towards #NigeriaDecides2019 got underway, the then governor of Imo State, @realRochas, approached the Chairman of @PMTNigeria, Chief for support to his partisan political plans. The company told the governor it did not do partisan politics
The week after the company rebuffed @realRochas, the Governor, in an act of reprisal, ordered the sealing up of the company's loading bay in Owerri, capital of Imo State. The company's workers & contractors in the State were put out of work. It was to be sealed for over 1 year.
As much as we are in desperate need of whole scale amendments in basically every article of the constitution that governs our beautiful nation NIGERIA, we owe it to ourselves to be accountable not only for 'ethical transparency' but for the future too #DcemAfrica #LegalByteAfrica
Take for example the Nigerian Law Publications Limited. Regardless your field expertise we owe every bit of information to the future of our nation WE NEED TO START DOCUMENTING RECORDS. Information is Free, Knowledge is Expensive, Wisdom is Priceless. #DcemAfrica #LegalByteAfrica
Like the #ChampionsLeague match today between #BarƧaLIV would be recorded and can be reviewed centuries later we NIGERIANS need to start documenting our doings for the future regardless of the various career we pursue. Cue from the Nigerian Recorded Music industry report by #DCEM

First, it covered the gender related issue women face when running for a political office. Remember @naijavote's excellent book?
Those issues are real.

Dear Nigerians from the former Northern Cameroon, we acknowledged the psychological torture you must have suffered as a result of current dehumanising and treasonable response of @OfficialAPCNg to the petition of one of you, Alhaji @atiku Abubakar, at the Presidential Tribunal
Please know this is not the position of we, the people of Federal Republic of #Nigeria, but that of the @OfficialAPCNg and its presidential candidate in the #NigeriaDecides2019
Mohammadu @MBuhari.
Mohammadu @MBuhari.
Despite manifest incongruities in the official story-line concerning @MBuhari's decision to remove the Chief Justice of Nigeria in Jan 2019, I was willing to suspend my disbelief & wait for govt to present evidence to support its claims of asset malfeasance in the #OonoghenTrial
When it launched its fevered campaign against the Chief Justice before the #OnnoghenTrial in the month before #NigeriaDecides2019, the govt claimed thro its hired hands that he had money running into Billions in multiple bank accounts & over 55 houses

1. #NigeriaDecides2019 Election Petition: The @OfficialPDPNig informs Nigerians that the leadership of @inecnigeria led by Prof. Yakubu, has refused to obey the March 6, 2019 ruling of the Appeal Court, directing it to allow our party and the peopleās candidate, @Atiku, ...@UN

3. This is a deliberate & wicked ploy by @inecnigeria, acting in cahoots with the @OfficialAPCNg to frustrate the people-backed resolve by @Atiku & the @OfficialPDPNig to timeously file & mention our petition at the Presidential election Tribunal, & by so doing, ambush the case.

#NigeriaDecides2019 The fabrication being peddled by the @MBuhari Presidency and the @OfficialAPCNg that the peopleās candidate, @Atiku, is making some demands of President Muhammadu Buhari, is an absolute falsehood and outright lies.
The @OfficialPDPNig states categorically, without mincing words, that Atiku Abubakar had not, and will never, make or accept any condition from President @MBuhari regarding the rigged February 23, 2019 Presidential election, which he (@Atiku) clearly won.
The @MBuhari Presidency and the @OfficialAPCNg know that their electoral robbery cannot stand before any noble justices and are now attempting to use all sorts of blackmail and shenanigans to derail the quest by Nigerians to reclaim the stolen mandate at the tribunal.
The outcome of #NigeriaDecides2019 left many questions behind. On the asymmetrical voter turnout, weāve put the data in infographics to help you understand the trends better.
Weāve heard Nigerians ask: How did NW get 43.89% while SE got 24.53%?

The Dilemma of the Nigerian Electorates: The Victim Blaming Tradition.

Action to change this. But we must know that every election, though the politicians are the major actors, on the long run determines the direction of life for every citizen, till the next election. Hence, reactions to any elections by the electorates, should be as it affects them
But this has not been the case. Since 2015, Nigerians have reacted to the outcome of every election, by focusing on how it affects the politicians and the political parties, more than how it affects their lives thereafter. This expresses serious dilemma.
First, let me thank @DejiOgunnubi for the fantastic job he did analyzing the election result as they came in. The final data when compared to 2015 tells a lot of stories. First it was a story of loses and gains in different GPZ by the "three" main parties. #NigeriaDecides2019
APC
Overall, as compared to 2015, the @OfficialAPCNg lost 2% of it's votes. While it lost 16% in strong holds like the NW and the SW, it more than made up for it with strong gains in the SE and the SS while holding on to it's position in the NC and the NE. #NigeriaDecides2019

PDP
The story is quite different for the @OfficialPDPNig. Overall, it lost 12% in 2019 compared to 2015. While it gained in the NW, NE & NC, it lost ground in its traditional base of the SS & SE. Interestingly, it lost the highest number of votes in the SW. #NigeriaDecides2019

People are now calling other tribes and states provocative names. Insulting people for voting their choice over yours is the height of illiteracy. Politics has always been and it will always remain a game of numbers.
Remember what I tweeted 22 days ago, the losers will go about their already established businesses and you'll become a product of your personal decision after the election
