My Personal Findings and Thoughts on the Election
Before the election results are announced and court trial begins, I want to share my thoughts and findings about the voting process and other election matters.
Generally, I believe this election was one of the best in terms of orderliness and Nigerians being cooperative at the polling booths, though there were hiccups here and there but good.
The biggest blow I received this morning was how Mr. President lost in the Aso-Villa. It came as a shocker I felt he should have won at home but this also goes to prove that INEC was independent in some ways.
Continue after the cut..............
I also heard there was a lot of money sharing somewhere in Ikoyi by the APC. According to my source, APC shared N5,000 while PDP cooked a hot steaming pot of jollof-rice with chicken*lols*. So when you vote, you are given cash or food. My Source said, a friend of hers just used ink on her thumb and got free N5000, just like that. Awoof dey purge belle.
Meanwhile, I was able to gather from quite a number of people that the Ndigbo community were out and about to the polling units. I heard they guarded their mandates viciously. When I mean viciously, I mean that bad because I heard a man had to go bring his generator by 6pm just for the elections to continue and the votes to be counted on Saturday night. And a good number had their thumbs on the PDP side. Most westerns I heard were for the opposition. And the emanating results have shown that the elections was indeed though between the APC and PDP. But in Abia according to the Punchnews, PDP topped the list APGA second and I saw APC crawling at no 4 postion behind PPA, there will certain be so much dramatic turn with this result when released.
But I have a problem with the way the AD-HOC Staff of INEC are being treated. Firstly they don't shower before coming to the polling booths, don't ask how I know(I have experienced it). Then you don't feed them all day and you still don't provide transport for them to their polling center's, Biko(please) where do things like this happen? Some voters had to use their cars to bring some of them to the polling center, while some died on their way(read story here) to the polling center's. We had the mention of billions being given to Jega yet common transportation we could not provide.
Jega, May have tried but he could have done better. Our card readers too had its own share of problems but I hope by the time the governorship election begins either card reader is thrown out or the malfunction repaired.
Over to you, What did you think about the electoral process?
