If PDP come to look for vote from you in #NigeriaDecides2019, please ask why they couldn't complete Lagos-Ibadan expressway (a road that is less than 150 kilometers) after 16years in power & so much earning from crude oil sales.
#QuestioningPDP
As #NigeriaDecides2019
ask PDP why none of our refineries were producing when they left power after 16 years, they neither built new ones nor fixed the existing ones, which is the reason why we still import fuel....What exactly happened to refinery in 16yrs?
#QuestioningPDP
Can we ask PDP why the East - West road was not completed after 16 years in power, meanwhile they always budget for that road despite having Senate Presidents from that region in 16yrs?
Who swallowed the mean for the East-West road in 16yrs of Mr fix it Anenih?

I will do a thread later on all these deflection of lepers & #TheGame that will tame Saraki in 2019..
Let me give you a hint ahead of this thread:
Expect a very influential Senator from the South East like Akpabio to deflect to @OfficialAPCNg b4 #NigeriaDecides2019
#MyView 😂🤣
Let me go further to tell you #MyView that led to this:
In 2015, #TheGame was for Ngige from the South East to win election, & being part of the new ruling party (majority), he was supposed to become the #SenatePresident(from South Eats), PMB(North), PYO(South West)...#Politics
But since the South East folks in their politics of hatered towards Buhari thought voting for Ngige would mean they supported APC/PMB, the person that won couldn't have been the Senate President because she was not from the ruling party...As such, the seat was open to all...🤣😂

Today we explore loopholes in Nigeria's electoral system that could threaten the credibility of 2019 Presidential Election & trigger post-election violence. We also share what citizens, @INECNigeria & non-state actors can do.

Take a deep dive with us.

👇
68% of PVCs representing 21.4m of the 31.7m citizens accredited to vote in 2015 presidential election failed full accreditation with the Smart Card Readers and had to use incidence forms for accreditation.

Only 32% or 10.3m of PVCs presented passed full accreditation.
42% of 31.7m citizens accredited to vote (i.e. 13.4m) used incidence forms because @INECNigeria's Smart Card Readers could read their PVCs BUT COULD NOT verify their fingerprints as the authentic owners of the PVCs they presented.

This problem was prevalent in the North:

There's a systematic Voter Suppression ongoing in the South; 6 South West States with 5m voters there are mostly affected. It may not be the intention of @INECnigeria to suppress Southern voters - but, it's happening on their watch.

Let's take a deep dive into relevant datasets
According to PVC data from @INECNigeria, Lagos State has the highest number of abandoned PVCs (1.41m). However, a deeper dive into the dataset shows a disturbing pattern - the #WORSE10 States with abandoned PVCs are in the south.

See pattern in the infograph👇
Are Yorubas and other Southerners the most politically unconscious citizens in Nigeria🤷‍♀️? Or is there a subtle strategy by the political elites to suppress votes from Yoruba states and other literate Southern States in Nigeria🤷‍♂️?

Let's take a look at 3 theories:
