Anywhere they registered!

It shows that you have a root...it isn't mandatory though.


We're still waiting for our incoming president of iragbiji village assembly.


He never touch down for here

Politics is local.

Peter Obi returned to his community in Anambra to vote.

Atiku returned to his community in Adamawa to vote.

Buhari is in Daura, KATSINA STATE.

They don't live there and could have registered anywhere else.

When you join a "serious" political party in Nigeria, you join from your ward.

If a State or Federal Appointment is to be given, they give you based on where you come from to reflect state/federal character.

If you want to contest for Senate, House of Reps or House of Assembly you'll be representing where you come from.

Those who have well thought political ambitions start from the grassroots up and not up down to the grassroots.
