I don't know if it's only me.

All I have been seeing are APC candidates posters.

Why are other parties not campaigninghuh

Well, maybe they feel it's unwise to waste resources as APC will likely write the results.

APC must clear all the local govt 100%. I repeat apc must win all thee local govt election nk rm for any opposition in Lagos. If Abia, Ebonyi, Kaduna, Kano can clear their LG electin for their party 100% then Lagos APC must win all LGA by force by fire too.

Oh really apc will write the result same way Otti wrote it Abia ba? Oh you mean same way Enugu and Ebonyi governor wrote it ba?

As per Sowore I prefer him and Kachukwu to be the president in 2031 or 2038 than for obi, el rufai and atiku to even become a local govt chairman takless of president.

They should find somewhere close to their work place to pass night or they should sleep at work place against Saturday. Shekena.

Workers going to work on Saturday should find somewhere close to their workplace to spend the night, or they should sleep at the workplace on Friday. Shekena. Because you would hardly find public transport working that day.

I am talking about Nigeria in general. We have to move away from unhealthy practices. I lived in Lagos for over 8yrs while growing up and I am not going to come back there for anything except I am transferred there by my organization.
