If what happened in the Ekiti State governorship election is any guide, the party that will win the 2023 presidential election would be the party that bribes voters the most.

Even people who sang passionate anti-APC songs on election day, according to news reports, buckled under at the sight of wads of naira and voted for APC!

I no longer trust social media and environmental signals as reliable predictors of parties' performance at the polls in 2023.

Vote-buying abilities, not mass support or rigging, would determine who would win in 2023. Sad but true.

Omoyele Sowore is right to redefine PVCs as "Poverty Verification Cards." With Nigeria being the Poverty Capital of the World, millions of people will verify their cards for the highest bribe givers.

Instant monetary gratification is more important to a poor person writhing in unspeakable existential torment than the illusory promise of deferred gratification.

And that's precisely why people in power have a crucial self-interest in keeping the populace poor, powerless, and amenable to manipulation through bribery on election days.

Kperoogi no get PVC na.Hin no go know as people dey vex here.

Ekiti isn't Nigeria and would vote differently during the presidential elections. They may not have voted for party per say but for the best devil of the whole lot.
Segun Oni,for example,has ruled before and didn't do well.Hence, the people see him as not different from the rest.

The Presidential election would be different.Tinubu was rejected in favor of Fayose.Did Tinubu not spend money then?

Dont mind those shouting the YOUTHs, the YOUTHs up and down!

Were they not the ones that voted in JONATHAN in 2011 when they were clamoring for FRESH AIR?

Were they not the ones that voted in BUHARI in 2015 when they were shouting CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE

Now, they want me to believe they have seen the light now..it is OBI...

Please once and for all, YOUTH should go and sit down and take a deep chill!

it is TINUBU we the REAL YOUTHs want!!!

You can never buy votes where you are not wanted. Buying of votes is just like catalyst, it can boost chances but can never guarantee victory. Goodluck Jonathan knows better

Ekiti is not all nigeria; in short Yoruba are not the whole of nigeria; the facts that yorubas are selling their votes due to the poverty level in their region doesn't mean all nigeria will do the same

With the insanely high invalid votes rate of 2.45% in Ekiti election result. It occurred to me that some people might have deliberately voided their votes out of frustration after collecting the bribes.

The Prof is not in Ekiti state, and APC is strong in the South West. Nd most Nigerians thinks the problem is from the president not governors or senators.

The evil apc government deliberately improvished Nigerians only to throw crumbs at them during elections. Nigeria is completely finished and utterly hopeless with this administration.

I hope we won't sell our votes in the upcoming presidential election. We have found hope in obi and I believe the youths should resist apc cash as was done in anambra election

Indeed vote buying might have been the order of the day but let's not forget what we're voting for is the person and not the party ...

If Peter Obi goes to Apc I will vote for him if he goes to Pdp again I will follow, I trust his credibility more ...

Another case study is cross River State, this state was a Pdp state before Ayade ported to Apc some months ago but guess what the fav to win the Guber election next year will be Apc reason because the candidate is one who is more preferred to that of the other parties.....

When Tinubu surely loses, you can go to bourdillon alone to eat the raw agbado and cassava that he promised to make 50 million youths eat when he becomes president.. grin

This is where INEC and security agencies including the court should come in.

Allow voters to cast their votes secretly without reviewing which party they voted for.


INEC have the least important part to play during the vote.

I remember the 2015 election, one party gave me 3k but, I voted for another party.
If we repeat this process twice, many politicians will avoid vote-buying.
