Lagos, Nigeria – Dem say wahala no dey finish for dis politicking world. Last Saturday, di vibes change as by-elections pop up for 16 constituencies, and e scatter everywhere like pepper soup! Di All Progressives Congress (APC) wear their dancing shoes, capture di majority of di seats, while di opposition dey shout foul play like dem dey see ghost. So, wetin happen?
As per di news, di APC grab 12 seats, but na only shameless vibes wey di African Democratic Congress (ADC) sef carry go as dem no win anything! Di Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) manage hold ground for Ibadan and Adamawa, while di New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) wave dia flag for Kano. But ADC? Their voice loud pass dem impact, as dem dey cry foul over intimidation and rigging.
Dis wahala no fit end without some serious jabs. According to Bolaji Abdullahi, di ADC National Publicity Secretary, di result no show wetin e suppose show. Him talk say dis one na bad reflection of di current electoral process under President Bola Tinubu. E say if dis na di way we dey go, den na banditry we dey call democracy. Wetin we dey see na intimidation, manipulation, and vote buying wey dey run di show! Too much wahala!
To make matter worse, di president don carry congratulatory messages go APC winners like he dey share puff-puff at a party. Bola Tinubu call di by-elections a clear endorsement of im Renewed Hope Agenda! Na like say him no see di fight from opposition, wey dey complain about violence and dem feel e dey lack something.
In Kaduna, for example, di matter no be small. Dem arrest suspect wey try buy votes wey reach N25 million. No be say di man dey plan to jolly jolly! Di PDP dey shout say dat na wetin he meant to do. As usual, di APC dey deny, say di money na for logistics – wahala no dy finish!
As di opposition group dey try pick di pieces, di ADC talk say e no fair at all, dem get plenty complaints about di whole process. Dem allege say thugs with weapons dey terrorize voters while money dey exchange hands like no tomorrow. Dem also raise di issue say if we no manage dis election matter well, e go affect di future of our democracy!
In di end, as APC dey celebrate, di ADC go still dey backtrack, trying to gather dem supporters together make dem no just give up. Dem need to sharpen dia strategy if dem want come back for 2027, otherwise, na di same gingers things go be. Wetin e go take to change di game? Na only time go tell o!
