My people, wetin dey happen for Nigeria? Senate don perform another theatrics wey dey make our democracy dey waka like a madman for street! Mma Odi, wey be co-convener of Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room, don open mouth talk say dem don kill our democracy as dem reject that electronic transmission of election results wey fit change the game for 2027 elections.
For one hot interview with Arise Television, she no hold back as she yarn say dem senators wan rig the elections just like wetin dem do for 2023 wey no sweet at all. As the matter be, dem want make we just dey look as dem go still carry their old agenda, and that be say our democracy don enter serious trouble.
DAILY POST report say, the section 3 of that Electoral Amendment Bill wey propose make e-transmission mandatory, na im dem waka comot. Senate President Godswill Akpabio come dey talk say, ‘No be say we don reject electronic transmission, na just we dey maintain wetin dey before.’ But, abeg, na wa o! Wetin you mean by that one?
Odi follow am clear say, ‘This political class no fit deliver security or any good thing for us, yet dem go dey plan to rig the elections. No be so e go be, we go fight am!’
Wetin de pain me pass be say, the Senate no even try to hear our side. Dem dey act like say na dem be the owners of this country, while we the people dey suffer dem wahala. We don see am clear say dem no dey represent us again. Na who we go vote come 2027? We need beta tomorrow!
Senate President Akpabio still talk say dem no reject e-transmission matter, but e no fit deceive anybody. Majority of Nigerians don dey tire for this kind story, and wahala dey just dey come! We need our voices to dey count, and we go no gree make dem turn this whole democracy matter to circus.
Dem don also reduce penalty for voters card buying from N500,000 and six months jail to N5,000,000 and the same two years imprisonment, but still no ban for those wey go collect dem cards. Na wetin we want make them do? Everything still dey for their hands, and we dey sit down dey observe as this drama dey unfold.
Peter Obi sef don talk say all this wahala na direct attack to our democracy. E dey vex say decision wey dey affect we as a nation take happen without our input. House of Reps need to put eye for this matter make sure say we fit do wetin go make 2027 elections credible.
As the matter be now, everything don set for another 2 weeks adjournment for Senate, as dem still dey waka round circle. Omo, we need to wake up, because if we no act now, dem go just dey do as dem like, and we go dey suffer for fear of electoral manipulation again!
