Let the truth be told, if the just concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary in Lagos state (Nigeria) was properly and honestly conducted, there is no way Jide Sanwo Olu (governorship flagbearer under the platform of APC in Lagos state, Nigeria) would have defeated governor Akinwunmi Ambode who is the current governor of the state based on the information our (Viewers Corner News) team who were on the ground to witness what happened during the voting process in various wards across Lagos state gathered. According to them, intimidation was the order of the day in some wards.
It was also alleged that some big names in APC would want governor Ambode to put the interest of the political party (APC) first before the Nigerian public and refusing to do so has earned him (governor Ambode) a none party man which is part of the reasons he was denied his second tenure by those who brought him to limelight. Honestly, the voters in Nigeria need real tutorial on how things work because majority in Nigeria lack understanding and would continue to follow leaders who do not care about them, such attitude has to stop.
Another troubling aspect based on our (Viewers Corner News team) findings revealed that most people at various wards in Lagos (Nigeria) were not allowed to cast their votes for governor Ambode. Thugs in various local government across the state carried out series of attacks to disrupt the voting process which is completely unacceptable. All these are the game plans of those allegedly sponsoring Mr Jide Sanwo Olu so that he can emerge as the winner of All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate which is bad. However, we (Viewers Corner News team) shall continue to plead and at the same time ask Nigerians based on what we know if they really want to end hardship and poverty in the country (Nigeria), then the first option is this, avoid following godfathers blindly. Vote for leaders who can take care of your welfare and not those who would give you peanuts to buy your conscience and after a short period of time, suffering would start again.
Look at other rich nations of the world, their citizens are their number one priority. They invest in them by making them happy before ever thinking of party politics. Please leaders of Nigeria, take the people of your country as your number one project. Leave those great governors in Nigeria alone as long as they are working for the betterment of the people to continue their good work in their various states until their tenure of office ends. This is one of the ways poverty can leave various states in Nigeria.
On a final note, most voters in Lagos state (Nigeria) are very disappointed for not having the opportunity to cast their votes for governor Ambode who is their choice of candidate which is bad and such animosity may drive them to another political party just to hurt All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state (Nigeria). Again, we (Viewers Corner News team) are pleading like we have always been doing by asking All Progressives Congress (APC) to get their house in order. Follow due process as democracy described, if not there would be surprises in the next general election come 2019. Meaning that a lesser political party may take over Lagos state (Nigeria) if proven to be credible more than the All Progressives Congress (APC).
