Good Development

That's how it's supposed to be in the whole States to checkmate the activities of Hoodlums, Agberos,Thugs, etc 💯

Go out and vote if you want a better state. As you grow older your tend to look back and as you grow younger, you tend to look forward.

It's time we young people determine our future now, we need to take control our our state.

Debts Nigeria is owing is alarming.
These leaders ruled their country in their early 30's
Gowon 32
Late Gbadamosi 28
Mobolaji Johnson was 35
American has a civil service that is strong while in Nigeria it is handson
Youth Go out Vote.

Jakande never had a PhD but you can see his performance, look at the drive and vision. We are living in different world in reality, a 70 yrs old man is living in a different reality from a 20yrs old youth
We need people who are strong in health and heart❤️


We have diversified into ISP. Shoot me a mail if you interested in the picture below

Abia would be better off with LP, if it means that OUK and company get kicked out.

Alex Otti is the man for the Job for Abia State governorship election come tomorrow.

Ndi Abia the time is now.

Good development….

No ballot snatching, No rigging…

The last presidential election malpractice in the SADEAST was something else..

Anyone caught molesting anybody not voting for LP should be dealt with

Good

I am always ashamed of talking about Abia state because the PDP have made it look like God has forgotten the state that we know as God's own state.
In Abia state, roads are deplorable, nothing concerns the government with provision of water, civil servants are owed over 2 years of salary, teachers in primary schools go to school just 3 times in a week if they even go at all, no security of lives, so that of property is of least concerns, even the capital city, Umuahia is crying that it is ashamed of being called a capital.

I know Abians have a dogged spirit but this time, they must sparogatively get it right. No more PDP, while the demonic party APC is not even an option.

LP all the way once again.

By God’s grace, Alex Otti should win and become the next governor of Abia state. Having admitted that Obi’s cyclone nearly swept him away, Abaribe and his group now see clearly that the next Abia state assembly will largely be made up of LP legislators.

OBIdience is key. With LP, there is hope for a better country.

“ Shun vote buying, vote selling, hate speech, misinformation, and disinformation, snatching of ballot boxes, and other criminal act(s) as the Force and other security agencies will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that all violators of extant laws, most especially the Electoral Act 2022 (as amended), are brought to book". That’s according to the CP. Now he needs to control his men. Ensure that his men do no involve in any criminal assistance to politicians.

OBIdients will be watching!

LP from top to bottom

Party chieftains are moving upandan before, during and after Elections while police dey mop like zombie

To all Obidients reading this. When you go out to vote make sure you don't do so empty handed no matter where you.

Carry your Cutlass with you, especially those in Lagos and Rivers State. A word they say is enough for the wise. My 2 Kobo.

HMMMM

Labour Party is taking over in Abia state ... no more ochendo thievery

Hmmm

On Abia election and restrictions thread?!
Instead of focusing on your online hustling, you are here instigating violence for Lagos and Rivers state!
Nnamdi Kanu also thought he was untouchable in far away London much less you using open source network and residing within Nigeria's airspace.

YPP for Nana ofuji..

SAFETY TIP
As you go out to vote on Saturday, don't campaign at the polling unit.
Don't let the person standing or sitting next to you know whom you intend voting.
Election violence can only be possible when the opposition suspects that his political party is loosing. Once they are not so sure of the likely outcome, they will remain calm and wait for the result to be announced.
You can't afford to loose your life because someone is looking for work.

Stay safe, stay alive!
