This election, in some ways, has highlighted the deterioration of our relationship with one another. One troubling element is that most of our political discuss have devolved into a conflict, particularly amongst friends with differing political views #NigeriaDecides2023
We are now more likely to disagree with close friends on politics or become irritated with them over who they support to be the next president. Some might advise staying away from political and electoral discuss to avoid future disagreements #NigeriaDecides2023
It is heartbreaking to see many close friendships collapse, particularly among young people. These relationships often crumble under the weight of toxic political spats. Nonetheless, the political elite remain unified in their pursuit of hegemony #NigeriaDecides2023
However, politics is a game of power, and being in a position of authority has its own set of benefits. Politics and power, like most things in our life, are ephemeral. Political terms expire, and what goes up must eventually come down #NigeriaDecides2023
Friendship, on the other hand, does not have to be short-lived. Politics must not outlive friendships. If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is that it is not worth it to burn bridges or lose friendships because of political disagreements #NigeriaDecides2023
I urge all to maintain civility in political discuss, but it doesn't necessarily imply that a friendship must endure the expense of political differences. Feb 25th elections will produce winners and losers, but in the end, everyone is a winner in a democracy #NigeriaDecides2023
