The 2019 general election is shaping up to be one of the most keenly contested polls in the history of Nigeria. As political awareness of the voting class keeps increasing by the day, watchers expect that it would reflect in the outcomes of the forthcoming general elections.

The agitation for a fresh political movement to herald a post-2019 government is getting loud. The yearning for this ideological shift seems to be gaining traction. This, according to pundits, might not be unconnected with the notion that the people are tired of the current political system as they now perceive the two leading parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as almost the same.
The clamour for fresh hands to run the nation’s affair has been said to be influenced by the desire to stop the recycling of politicians who have sustained themselves and their cronies in the corridors of power for decades.
Former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, has in one of her recent tweets, ruled out the PDP as an alternative while discrediting the ruling APC, saying they are birds of same feather.

“It is neither APC nor its twin brother. Yes, how does 6 differ from half a dozen?” she tweeted.

The former minister might have struck a raw nerve just as the ruling APC continues its battle to fulfil some of its campaign promises. More so, the ruling party has been accused of same actions, or inactions, for which it had in the past, criticised the former ruling party, the PDP.

The recent visit of the APC governors to President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State, amid terrorist attacks, had recently stirred up fresh criticisms among Nigerians from all shades against the party.

They queried the timing of the visit, saying that the action of these governors portrayed them as prioritising the party’s desire to remain in power beyond 2019.

The scenario seem like a déjà vu of sorts, as the APC had in the build up to 2015 general elections, criticised former President Goodluck Jonathan, for opting to continue with a political rally in Kano State despite a major attack in Yobe State.

They are shamelessly afraid of BUHARI (the lion king). All of them 'don't contest' I think we will have an 'unopposed' President in 2019, Landslide victory awaits them all.

Not prepared

do they even have a viable candidate who can compete with Buhari? I guess the result is known already. Buhari till 2023

The reality on ground is, If nigeria presidential election will be conducted 10000 times no any candidate can defeat President BUHARI
