Today happens to be a remarkable day for the Nigerian
people. It is very obvious that Voters
in 29 states in Nigeria will elect governors while new members of the state
assemblies would be elected in the entire 36 states of the federation.We also know that, seven (7) out of the 36 states
will not be holding elections for governorship, the states are: Edo, Ondo,
Ekiti, Bayelsa, Kogi, Anambra the reason been that the tenures of the various state
governors are yet to elapse.
The Peoples Democratic Party which used to be the
strong opposition in this country turned out to be on the other side after the
March 28 presidential Election where the All Progressive Congress Emerged
winner. One would think that with recent development, the PDP will relent but
they seem to be waxing great with the intent that the parties Governorship
candidates will win in all their state.
However,
at the end of the voting today, we will be able to come up with facts showing
the winner of the elections from the various parties of the states. Although the
race seems to be very tough but there will be a winner at the end of it all.
Politics is not a do or die affair. Nigerians must learn to play politics without sentiments,violence and desperation. This is the only way we can characterized change and move forward as a country.
