What Elections Have You Been Most Emotionally Attached To? by Minsk24: 7:25am On Apr 10
Elections are so important in a democracy, with so many things at stake that determines our lives to a certain extent...it is impossible in some cases not to get really emotionally attached to the outcome of an election....
So Let Me know which elections have put you on an emotional rollercoaster....

For Me

Joe Biden Vs Trump 2020
The US presidential Election of 2020 really swayed my emotions, i was so emotionally attached to that election, i am not a Trump fan and i disliked him as a person, i disliked the divisive politics he played, and as a Democrat supporter, that election was so pivotal...it was emotionally charged, i got involved in so many heated debates online regarding that election...
And i remember seeing the results come in and how tense i was...and how happy I was when Biden won and world leaders started congratulating him...my happiness was beyond explanation....


Goodluck Jonathan Vs Buhari (2015)
I beg for forgiveness to all Nigerians for supporting buhari, i was naive and just disliked PDP and Jonathan, i just wanted to see change, i campaigned and supported buhair much to the chagrin of my family, they were so angry at me....
When Buhari won, i celebrated with my friends back then in university and was happy...
If only i could roll back time cry


Alex Otti Vs Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia Gubernatorial Elections 2015)
As an Ngwa Man, i went against all odds, family pressure to support Alex Otti, i ve always liked Otti and backed him against Ikpeazu, i was irritated with the tribalism that rocked that election, regarding Otti's identity, i was ashamed of my Ngwa people with the divisive rhetoric that consumed that election, i also wanted a break from PDP and T A orji in abia Politics...

That must be June 12, 1993 election.

I was in senior secondary school at that time, still under 18 and ineligible to vote, but the way I carried the election matter for head pass the eligible voters sef.
I remember joining protesting Nigerians in the streets after the result was cancelled by babangida.
The likes of Gani fawehinmi and kutis were my mentors.
I also came up with the habit of inscribing IBB must Go on our school buildings. One day I was caught red-handed by the vice principal. I was not only suspended but was made to clean the whole school.
Walahi me sef don suffer for this democracy o!

It has to be Tinubu versus Peter Obi. Was really emotionally obsessed with that election but Alas I was disappointed with the charade called election in Nigeria. Here we are lamenting on a daily.

The last presidential election. Due to the fake promises of the INEC chairman, I had to transfer my polling unit from Abia to Rivers State, stood under the element for long hours in order to get my voters card. Then on the day of election, I left my house very early to my polling unit, helped in arranging the place and waited patiently for hours before the arrival of the election officials. Many voters in my polling unit trekked form long distances in order to exercise their civic rights. At the end of the day, my hope of a transparent electoral process was dashed by INEC. I felt terrible that day not because my candidate lost the election but due to the malpractice that happened in my polling unit and Rivers State in general.
