Fear Politicians

INEC website is down, INEC office just shifted collation to tomorrow due to power outage, atleast a 1000 unit to go


This is the time for PDP agents to be fully observant

Have you denied your party so soon? Chai this life sef

TinubuNG:
Just watch !

Any miracle yet?

TinubuNG:
The way these people will screaming rigging later will surprise the world , they keep post false results, some of them knew it's not true but kept playing along

Unfutunate,some dummies don't know yet

Give it up! You’ve lost

bennybuhari:
He refused to participate in Osun Governorship Election, thinking the party will lose without him. Now he has been humbled.

Atiku should call his bluff and continue with his campaign

It’s surprising many of you still think it’s any politician that made it possible for PDP to trounce APC in osun? Power is gradually returning to the people. And oh, your Atiku had better win Rivers state without Wike.

Tatiana4u:
All those supporting PDP in this election and still claiming to support Peter Obi….I can't see any votes for labour party today, abi they didn't field any candidate?

So you still vote for parties and not candidate? That I support Peter obi does not mean I will vote for any Tom dick or Harry because he is running under LP

Truthisunique2:
when Campaign start they would be alright bro

Even obi go return back pdp

I knew it. You are an atiku supporter but hiding. Come out well bro

openmine:
Truth be told,LP gained a sudden prominence as soon as Peter Obi became Presidential flagbearer!
Before now,no one knew LP as a party...not even in Osun state!
This election in osun state has been known to be between PDP and APC...Thats why they are miles ahead of the others!
The party LP still have a lot of time to build on their popularity before the presidential elections!
LP should not be taken for granted!

Those mocking LP are using it as self consolation from their embarrassing defeat today.

helinues:
You guys have already started with your online leading.

Wait for official results from INEC

Hahahaha! This isn’t 2018 bro. Give it up... a sign of things to come

helinues:
Election

Hahahaha! In a state that is supposedly the home of Asiwaju where his cousin holds sway as governor. Something is wrong

helinues:
Quick recovery able VP

Professor self dey play squash game.

What happened today in osun na?

2023 Presidential Election Will Be Like The Others, As The APC Takes An Early Lead In Osun Elections; Matters Arising

Today, the world's attention is focused on the ongoing gubernatorial elections in Osun State; in fact, the elections in both Ekiti and Osun will serve as a preview of the general elections in 2023. If the Osun elections follow the same pattern as the Ekiti elections, which saw a low turnout, it will be INTRIGUING to see what happens in about 7 months.

The APC candidate, Oyetola, is currently in the lead according to early results from Osun State, which only serves to highlight the fact that Nigerians must reset their brains in order to accept the harsh reality.
It may interest you to know that, despite a large number of registered voters, the country has seen a low voter turnout since the 2019 general elections.

In short, the 2019 presidential election was the lowest in the country's history and even in Africa in recent times. Take note that there is a terrible trend of voter apathy, and one might wonder what would make a difference in a few months to come. Take the Edo State 2020 gubernatorial elections and subsequent Gubernatorial elections across the country after the 2019 general elections, and it is evident that the status quo is likely to remain.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), voter turnout in the Edo 2020 gubernatorial elections was at a historic low of 25%. The last time a governorship election was held in 2016, the turnout was 32%.

The recent Ekiti elections, which the APC easily won, followed the same pattern, with fewer eligible voters voting than the previous time. Even when the number of registered voters in the states has increased. Remember that every individual is from a state, so as the number of registered voters increases across the country, so does the state by default.

The problem we've always had as a nation has been the hypocrisy that exists within all of us; we always want to justify whatever we've set our minds to ACCEPT/BELIEVE, and this can never change our expectations from THE reality.

When I argued that if Nigerians couldn't turn out enmasse for gubernatorial elections, the same should be expected in the presidential elections, someone dismissed my claim.

To be honest, which is closer to the grassroots  the Governor or the President? I can easily access my state governor, which cannot be said for the president, so by default, I would participate in gubernatorial elections over presidential elections because it is closer to me if I had to choose between the two.

The states are much closer to the people because each polling unit in a state must have at least one electorate who has a personal relationship with the Governor, which is a fact. So accept the reality that the States votes add up to national votes.

Lol , people dey forget say na from the State na hunger dey beat the people, anyway u like am or not that na the reality. If the electorates are not turning up for State elections it would be same pattern with the presidential elections.

The only way for changes to occur in Nigeria is for the over 70% of registered voters who refuse to vote in elections to begin voting. For example, in Edo state, all the shouts that Godfathers must be defeated and all what not, they all boasted that on election day,  Edolites would turn out en masse to vote Obaseki, and yet on election day, Obaseki won with even fewer votes than he received in the 2016 Governorship elections.

What does this tell you? When Obaseki was in the APC in 2016, he received 319,483 votes to win the elections, and when he was in the PDP in 2020, he received 307,955 votes to win the elections. This is even after Edo registered more voters.

So my people my point na say as Ekiti take be weeks ago and Osun take play today na so the Presidential election go still be in 2020, make una no vex with me oh na the truth I just yarn so.

If Nigerians can not realize that most of the development we crave for should initiate from the State which is closer to the grassroots then it is their headache.

If we can not turn up to vote in State elections then why are we deceiving ourselves that it is the Presidency which is holding alongside other elections that it is then the whole Nigerians would vote? UTOPIA DREAM.

My name na Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah and na me be the principal and chairman/CEO of Bush Radio Academy.

Where is APC leading sir? Is it this election that we’ve been monitoring?

Abdul05:
Congratulations. ...


As long as it is not labour party


Thank God..Yoruba people will never labour in pains..

Let's reject labour party in our totality..

Shame on you! To be consoling yourself with the performance of a small party is a shame!

lansile:
Where is Labourer Party? Dem dey labour for life no?

Why not worry about your impending loss? For a political juggernaut to be losing in a very key state where his cousin is the sitting governor is shameful.

deeva2:
Nothing is shocking in Osun election..Those who understands naija politics beyonds social media already kn that Osun is has always been a battle field for APC and PDP..You shud be concerned Abt ur Obituary because his presence in Osun is a waste for Lasun and a reflection on the general election.

Self consolation

Moh247:
Only a gullible person would believe Osun would vote Ibo candidate Peter Obi in Loser Party after total rejection they suffered today

PDP is leading because the Adeleke are strong family and because Athiefkus wife is from Osun

Osun hates Peter Obi far more than APC and they are showing the hate through their votes

Stop consoling yourself. If I were you, I’d be so ashamed that APC and your principal are being disgraced in a state where his cousin is the incumbent governor. Shame!!!

Ola260:
U still dey dream abi.
LP ko, premier league ni

You guys are using LP’s poor outing to console yourselves. Well done!

Elporo:
Unlikely.

Too early to say. These results are expo that there’s much work to do. No one is expecting a miracle

PaChukwudi44:
From the results that are trouping out of Osun, both of you will be the ones to shamefully leave this thread!!!

No more magic at collation centres.Results are now been uploaded to INEC Portal in real time

They are using LP’s poor outing to console themselves

omenka:
This one too dey shine teeth. I thought you're now in labourers party? How far with their performance?

Nothing in the world is of more certainty than whoever you support politically falling into misfortune. Your bad luck na ticket wey no dey ever cut.

Are you so deluded that you thought LP stood a chance in this election? Or you still think people are voting for parties. If Lasun ain’t popular, how is it obi’s problem?

rolams:
Maybe Labour party members are voting for PDP

Exactly! People are voting the individual and not the party

Elporo:
Dem vote nah .. well well for Twitter

I can accept PDP or APC ... never LP ..

So you still think people are voting party? Many of the people voting PDP now will vote LP Presidential

BATified2023:
the same Lagos that u igbos won’t vote or another one?

Won’t vote how? Oh you want to use thuggery you intimidate people? I’m sure by then they should be ready for you. Bigots!

Favaman:
Even the past election in ekiti state says more of the apathy in sw..

Tinubu won't get any million votes from any Yoruba state except Lagos state(if possible).

He won’t even get up to a million in Lagos sef. Lagos is cosmopolitan

seunmsg:
Osun should be able to deliver 1.2million votes to Tinubu in the presidential election.

I Dey laugh you. Why didn’t you mention Lagos

Adexxi:
Them born their father . They can only do werey where they are strong perhaps inside Yemoo

I just read from Deji Adeyanju now that there’s vote buying in many places

Adexxi:
Why rejecting the money . Why Madakeke people dey do like this na. Here in ife we dey collect then vote our choice

Are they not monitoring how you vote?

Lubumbashi:
Na Atiku voters Obi de poach so

Batified2023

And it didn’t occur to your that some APC voters have switched to obi? One category are some osinbajo’s people and others are people not supporting same religion ticket.

ItsTutsi:
Another fake news!! Fabricating and concocting jargons won't help nyamuri flat.heads

"The official said Mr Buhari was not involved in the deliberations that led to Mr Tinubu’s announcement of Kashim Shettima"

Stopped reading this nonesense immediately I got to this part

All you people know is ethnic bashing. Is this how you people want the next government to be?

Mandate2023:
I am a Christian and am voting asiwaju.....infact all my friends r Christian and we r voting tinubu

You are all APC people so no surprise. What about the non partisan Christians?

judithjam:
I will make 1naira equal 1$,is the same as Peter obi will make Nigeria like Dubai,when he can't make anambra like lagos state,with the excuse that Lagos was once a state capital,, and so??

The people that are condemning BAT for MUSLIM/MUSLIM Ticket are refusing to celebrate Kwankwaso who has a BISHOP as VP.....dis life no balance �

Where did Peter obi day he would make Nigeria like Dubai? Point me to it. You people just want to drag others along with the dumb promise of making a dollar equal to naira.

Biodun556:
Pot calling kettle black.

You can be the judge

So you wasted your precious time compiling this to justify a dead on arrival ticket? Nawa oh

Kestolove:
sai tinubu

So you are pretty like this? Bigotry doesn’t suit you. I’m not referring to your choice of candidates but your past comments on this forum.
