Out of over two hundred million Nigerians, 87,209,007 voters who have collected their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) out of 93,469,008 registered voters will troop out tomorrow to vote for their preferred candidates out of four Presidential major contenders in the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly.
The four major contenders among the eighteen candidates standing presidential election are Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), Abubakar Atiku, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Three of the four candidates, Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso were forced on Nigeria by their political parties because ordinarily, the majority of Nigerians do not want any of them because it is held that they have played a major role in destroying the country.
Obi is widely embraced by common Nigerians because he is perceived to represent a new candidate in the race and common people want to give him a trial if he can turn things around for the better.
Ironically, Obi is despised by the majority of the kingmakers and it will take a voting revolution to have him emerge as the nation’s president in the election.
However, the election has been fully militarized as thousands of soldiers, sophisticatedly armed with armoured tanks, have been deployed across the country.
