In 2019, I took a round trip flight from Lagos State to Akwa Ibom to vote for Omoyele Sowore for President. As a matter of fact, Sowore was the only candidate that I voted for during the last elections.

I am happy that I gave him my vote. I have no regrets. In 2023, I will either vote my conscience or not vote at all. But what I will not do is to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea.

If Nigeria is not going to experience radical change in leadership in my lifetime, I refuse to be part of those who will keep the status quo in place because they don't want to "waste" their votes.

I do not have the patience to wait any longer. Anyone that wants to lead this country must have a proven track record of standing on the side of the people, particularly when it was not convenient or politically correct to do so.

I'll rather vote "a losing candidate" who is capable of leading this country to the realization of its full potentials, than vote a so-called "winning candidate" who's only after depleting the national treasury and having the appellation President and C-in-C attached to his name.

I know that I may not experience the joy of electoral victory in the end, but I'll be take solace in the verdict of history which will vindicate me as one who didn't join the multitude to ruin what was supposed to be a great nation.

This is my choice, make yours, and let posterity be the judge.
