I wonder how many Nigerians knew the political parties Hillary Clinton/Trump belong to without searching the internet, but I am sure majority knew both Hillary and Trump were the major candidates contesting the USA presidential election.

The election issues were all about what the candidates were bringing to the table, debates were held by both candidates on several occasions (not the usual "in 15 minutes tell us how you will improve the economy" as seen in Nigeria). The voters decision were based on the debate and not on the political parties they belong to.

This is why the elected officials feel the responsibility to perform, coz if they fail the people will see them as the failure and not the political party. So it's citizen first before political parties.

That's why you do not see a party chairman telling Parliament who to lead them.

If we don't stop this idea of making elections issues about political parties, this politicians will continue to disrespect the voters and think political parties first and the bad governance will continue.

This politicians should take responsibility for their actions or inactions, and not the political party. You cannot arrest PDP /APC, but you can arrest GEJ, OBJ and GMB. The citizens should look beyond party, it's an insult to praise akpabio and accuse PDP of looting the state dry. That's the height of disrespect.
