The elections have come and gone and comedian, Okey Bakassi has penned down his two cents on the conduct of the exercise.
Read his piece below
”Good morning family and friends. I woke up feeling better than yesterday, because;
1. The Elections are over, our normal “hustle” can continue.
2. We are still in a Nigeria that is not “divided” as predicted by doom prophets.
3. The pockets of violence experienced didn’t consume me or anyone close to me.
4. We have shown Politicians that power belongs to the people.
However, let’s not be deceived; the elections were not perfect, we know the truth, but we have improved and must continue to improve.
Our voting public have shown the political awareness than can bring genuine change but our politicians have not changed.
The name of the leading political party has changed but the composition has not changed. The party in power now is made up of; the good, the bad and the ugly from various political parties including the PDP and more will soon join them. They will not take us for granted again.
This means we all must remain vigilant. Those who supported the parties that won, must channel the energy that was used to criticize and attack the previous government into helping the present, deliver on their promises. While those who are now in opposition must come up with constructive criticism that will help move #Nigeria forward.
Let’s not pretend, we must begin to repair friendships/relationships that were damaged during the elections. The government has a huge responsibility of healing the ethnic/tribal division that became more obvious during the elections.
Fellow Nigerians! Let’s unite to build a better country. Our trust is in God……….na de same people still dey power.
It’s a fresh start.
