The government would restructure the country in his second administration, be rest assured. Enemies of the country are just wasting their time, pretenders and charlatans are on their own.

Better pass malt and gala

See them. Soon this one will be calling wise Nigerians from the Bush.

Please, I want to ask an honest question with no political undertone.
For those who have witnessed how elections are conducted in other countries, whether in Africa (though I doubt it is much different from Nigeria), do European or American governments induce citizens with handouts to vote for their parties or candidates?
I believe that if the government provides the basic necessities of life, no Nigerian would need to beg for anything. We are naturally hardworking people.

That is your 4 years food you dey see so ooo.

I understand why many people are criticizing the distribution of campaign bags containing Indomie and tomato paste, especially given Nigeria's economic realities. However, I think we should be careful not to reduce the conversation solely to the contents of the bags.

The real issue is not whether supporters distributed food items. Political parties across Nigeria have long engaged in various forms of campaign outreach, including sharing food, clothing, and other materials. What matters is whether voters allow such items to determine their choice at the ballot box.

A pack of noodles may feed a family for a day, but the governor elected will make decisions that affect the state for four years. Roads, schools, healthcare, security, job creation, infrastructure, and economic development are far more important than any campaign gift.

Citizens should feel free to accept lawful gifts if they choose, but they should also ask tough questions:

* Has the administration improved education?
* Are roads and infrastructure getting better?
* Has the business environment improved?
* Are young people finding opportunities?
* Has the government delivered on previous promises?

Democracy works best when voters make decisions based on performance, competence, and vision rather than temporary incentives.

At the same time, we should acknowledge that the fact that food items resonate with many people reflects the economic hardship many families are facing. When basic necessities become valuable campaign tools, it says as much about the condition of the economy as it does about politics.

Ultimately, the most powerful message voters can send is this: "Thank you for the gift, but my vote will be based on your record, not on a bag of noodles."

That is how citizens strengthen democracy and ensure leaders remain accountable.

DON'T EVER JUDGE ANYONE UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF IN HIS/HER PREDICAMENT

Do I need to blame them, no...

Our leaders is a weapons fashion against the masses Bible talked about 🤔 imagine the kind of hunger in the land...

My problem is not about collecting, it's voting them after collecting the rubbish. Collect and vote who's in your mind, not necessarily who gave you what

The people and the politicians need to be blamed. Without the people who aid in this corruption they won't have the balls to bribe us

As the June 20, 2026 Ekiti State governorship election approaches, supporters of incumbent Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) have been distributing campaign bags containing four packs of Indomie and two sachets of tomato paste.

The white plastic bags prominently feature APC branding, “Vote BAO” stickers, and the slogan “Till 2030.”

In saner cline countries with stronger democratic institutions—giving voters money, gifts, food, or other benefits in exchange for votes or to influence how they vote is generally considered vote-buying or bribery and is a criminal offence in many countries.
