@DoubleEph Feyi, there a number of factors that only a full post-election analysis can reveal. 1) Don't 4get that d present governor won the election on the APC platform & decamped to PDP less than a year ago. 2)He performed WOEFULLY. It is easy to de-market anything he stands for. 1/
@DoubleEph 3) There is poverty in the land. I know of people whose only source of livelihood is the N30K they receive from N-power monthly. These are graduates who never got employed. Others live on the NHGSFP. That category are protecting what they see now... 2/
@DoubleEph Who wants to live by faith when they can live by what they see. Seeing is believing remember. 4) The security situation has been muddled up. When the anti-open grazing law was enacted, the government set up a security outfit called LIVESTOCK GUARDS to enforce it. The Governor..3/

@DoubleEph the outfit and involvement in some of the killings. Akume APC amplified that to say the governor was behind the killings. This is politics; simpletons believed. 4) While the state's fortunes didn't improve, the governor's did. He traveled severally to China... 5/
@DoubleEph to look for investors. They never came. His private business grew. That was used to compose a very powerful song that translates to "our money has gone to China." Such messages stick in this season. 5) Add to that the Mai Gaskiya myth. 6/
@DoubleEph The biggest factor though is the governor's none performance. PMB gave them bail out funds & Paris Club refund, what did he do with it? Salaries and pensions are still being owed. Demarketing him has been easy. It's the same way Suswam & PDP lost in 2015. 7/
@DoubleEph So many things to say, but perhaps I too offended now to be completely objective. Let others intervene too. I rest my case. 8/
