Rotimi Amaechi APC Presidential Aspirant at the past party primaries has revealed the regrets of delegates bribed to vote for a reportedly unfit candidate.
The lesson passed in his assertion reflects in a trending image on social media of the All Progressives Party, APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu and his counterpart in the People’s Democratic Party, Abubakar Atiku.
Despite all the noise that the two presidential aspirants were not on good terms, they were seen hugging and exchanging pleasantries.
Meanwhile, their supporters, on the other hand, are busy on social media exchanging insults and verbal abuses without thinking of the consequences.
Funny, the everyevery.ng correspondent once witnessed an intense debate that almost turned violent at a newspaper stand close to UTC, Garki, Abuja.
The men passionately spoke about their favourite politicians, hoping they would out-argue each other, but without any possibility of a positive outcome.
Similarly, another newspaper stands around the Wuse market in Abuja became rowdy as several men reading only headlines almost started fighting.
Our correspondent could hear them argue over Atiku and Tinubu as the best options for the country come to the 2023 presidential election.
It took the intervention of police officers on traffic control duties to calm the situation down before it git completely out of hand.
Observations showed that one of the men arguing left the topic discussed to insult the counterpart that he’s ‘a fool’ for thinking of voting in Tinubu.
The other responded with a violent attack that flared other persons and passersby supporting Atiku to join in the almost triggered conflict.
On different occasions, political analysts have pointed out reasons why Nigerian citizens should never consider going to war over politicians.
In the past and in recent times, you’ve come across newspaper headlines suggesting that leaders from different political parties are not on good terms.
The next thing you see is the same beefing politicians having fun and dancing with themselves at a private lounge with alcohol and cigarettes everywhere.
The same goes for those political thugs causing mayhem in every corner of the country whenever it’s time for an election.
Say no to thuggery, and don’t be a tool in the hands of dirty politicians that hire your services to cause unrest during elections.
This is why the Amaechi APC narrative at the beginning of this written piece came up to help put light on why you should not die for the selfish interests of the Nigerian leaders who would never allow their children be involved in voting, much less ballot snatching or political thuggery.
