A few random thoughts, as it seems we have forgotten the mistakes of 2015.
Before we start, go take a look at my header. That is politics.
It is not fair. It is not just. It is the pursuit of power. And it will ONLY act fair, or just if that will secure power.
Let’s begin:

It is not fair. It is not just. It is the pursuit of power. And it will ONLY act fair, or just if that will secure power.
Let’s begin:
1. The 2023 elections will NOT be about fairness, or justice, or equity. It will necessarily be a choice between the two candidates the PDP and APC will present.
2. I’m seeing “anyone but [Atiku/GEJ/Osinbajo/Tinubu] tweets. Stop with the silliness. That’s how we got Buhari.

3. When TWO candidates emerge, dispassionately vote for the one who will protect & advance your interests, & consequently society’s interests
4. Parties do not present saviors or saints; religions & cults do. So PLEASE avoid demagogues. Again, that’s how we ended up with Buhari.

5. Does that mean if you’re a PDP (wo)man and APC presents a better candidate, you should support that candidate? Of course! However, APC is unlikely to present a better candidate if the things that matter to you are economic prosperity, respect for the rule of law, and freedom.
6. If you’re wondering how parties elect candidates, they use primaries. APC did direct primaries in 2019; PDP will use direct primaries in 2023. They allow you lobby & vote for the aspirant you want. Get involved with party processes so you are not presented with a fait accompli
7. Isn’t this a fallacy of bifurcation? What about the third force? Why have I excluded all but two parties from the presidential election?
Third Force in 2023? Lol. I mean, you can vote for any party you like. A wasted vote, like the refusal to even vote, is valid.
But LMAO.

8. I do think it is important, however, to note that voter apathy, and ‘wasted votes’ are passive enforcements/endorsements of the status quo. It is why you hardly ever see the party in power leading ‘get-out-the-vote’ campaigns. But hey, it’s your vote. 🤷🏽♂️
9. We’re at a point in our history where most candidates will have a track record. They exist for a reason. We ignored Buhari’s track record in 2015. That’s why we are where we are today; with a failing, divided, desperately poor nation and the worst president in our history.
10. PLEASE study their histories. Don’t go & vote for genocidal maniacs with administrative capacity, I beg you in God’s Name. Don’t rebel against one choice to vote for a worse one.
11. Look at the candidates.
12. Pick the best one.
13. It really is that simple. Please.
